    The family does have amazing taste in compound flowers, though.

    But eating wild carrots is fun. I recommend eating wild carrot but not eating hemlock. That’s worked well for me so far.

      Its usually more healthy to not eat the toxic or poisonous ones, so I lean to agreeing with your recommendation.

      In case someone wanted a second opinion

    Missing on the left:

    Wild parsnip Cow parsnip Poison parsnip Giant hogweed

    The sap from all of these cause terrible blisters when it gets on you and sunlight hits it

    Is there something I’m supposed to be doing with Queen Anne’s Lace? It gets more out of control every year, but I just rip it out and compost it.

      As long as you’re sure it’s Queen Anne’s Lace (hairy stem, flowers with red dot), rip it up and use it. They’re much tougher than normal carrots, but still taste great and make a lovely vegetable stock. My dogs go NUTS for them as treats. There’s a bunch of tutorials online for how to use them.

      Note: You won’t be able to get rid of them without weed killer, because their seeds turn into little burrs that cling to animals… but the plant is tasty, so why waste it?
