CouesWhitetail Report post Posted April 24, 2014 When my hubby and I are out for a walk we always stop to snack on miner's lettuce whenever we see it. It's tasty and healthy. Anyone else do this? You can read more about it here...apparently it's very high in vitamin C and A, among other nutrients : http://honest-food.net/2011/02/23/on-miners-lettuce-americas-gift-to-salad/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

azshtr Report post Posted May 4, 2014 I found some hippy spinach once During a boy scout camp out when I was one of the leaders, the leaders camped separate from the boys. While settling in around the campfire I noticed "hippy spinach" growing right where we spend several hours setting up. When I pointed to it and laughed, half the leaders laughed and the other half had no clue. That was funny stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snapshot Report post Posted May 4, 2014 Amanda where do you normally find it ? I may have walked right past it and not given it a second look. I was curious about that myself. What elevation, and type of terrain? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesWhitetail Report post Posted May 5, 2014 I usually see it on shaded cooler slopes...often on the colder sides of drainages in the desert. a thick clump of mesquite along a drainage might be a good place to look for it growing in the shade. The places I am thinking of at the moment tend to be northfacing sides of small drainages. No standing water necessary, but it tends to be a spot that is cooler, shadier and moister than the surrounding areas. However we did find some at the top of a mountain north of Globe under a mesquite....a more exposed spot than I usually find it. You might find more info on locations by googling it.
