Does anyone have a suggestion for a book that has edible Arizona plants and how and when to harvest. Went to the library yesterday and couldn't find anything worthwhile...

My husband organizes the edible and medicinal plant tours at Boyce Thompson Arboretum in Superior. The lady that teaches some of those classes also wrote a book called Edible Plants of the Superstitions that you might like. You can get the book at the Arboretum.
