We are always on the look out for food items especially free ones. Even my daughter gets in on it.

I've explained to my kids that the more useful they are, the more we love 'em...
I, too, watch for tasty tort-weeds...last year, one of the guys I share ownership of a tractor with brought me several bales of fresh weeds (mostly prickly lettuce and sow thistle) before he spread weed-killer on his pasures (so, this year about all he grew was alfalfa and sorgum)...my torts, goats and mini-hawg ate well throughout the winter, though!
I am devistated. I have been eyeing a HUGE cactus for over a year in a nieghbors back yard. The house was a repo and I was so tempted to climb the chain link fence and take some, but I just couldn't do it. I drive by the house amost everyday sometimes sevel times. I have watched it bloom and get fruit. It was a beautiful cactus. A few months ago someone moved into the house. I watched and watched for then to trim the cactus. Last Friday the day afrer trash day I noticed the cactus is completly gone. I am sick. I could kicking myself for not going to the door and asking if they were keeping the cactus. I could have shared it with my tort friends and planted a cactus orchard. That is how crazy I now look at the would.

So true! My husband can't understand why I want to plant weeds. I'm collecting seeds, pulling off the road to pick grasses, walking around parks looking for wild mallow and other goodies - it's good exercise, too!
And, hey, I am not above collecting some of those loose marbles....
