Connie, my brother and his wife use grape leaves like that. Usually they wrap the meat and rice in cabbage leaves, but once in awhile will gather wild grape leaves.

What about rose hips? I have heard that they make a wonderful tea. I love to gather them, but really do not know what to do with them.

Rose hips are wonderful. The best time to gather them is right after the first frost, and they are great for jellies, syrups and tea. Dandelions- recently I posted a recipe for fried dandelions in my blog, then made printable recipe pages for them. They are a family favorite. If you're interested, you can see the printables here. Fried Dandelions printable recipe Other than that, potatoes, rhubarb, raspberries, strawberries, carrots and pumpkins. And something unknown in one of my pots, but it's coming up well so I'm watering and waiting to see if it's more darn trees or if it's something I planted last year coming back up.

Phyllis that sounds wonderful about the wild grape leaves.
People on the shore can use some forms of kelp like that as well.

Shala I totally want to try the fried dandelion heads! I eat them raw in salads but that sounds even yummier.
I bet the leaves and heads would be good in homemade salsa too.
LOL, people spend hundreds a year to get rid of dandelions and here i am wanting to buy seeds for them...

Re - rose hips. I like to use them in teas, but not as the entire tea. They are a little sour. I add them to combinations with wild mint usually.
Rosehips are FULL of vitamin C!

Jilly, not only vitamin C, but also dietary fiber. Dandelions rock the vitamin A.
If you live in someplace that gets cold enough, rose hips are sweeter after the first frost.

Jilly, we also have wild strawberries. There are a bunch of them this year. We don't remember seeing them in the past, but they must have been there, since they don't spread that much in one year.

So - how do you make rose hip tea? Do the rose hips have to be prepared in any way first?
