Default Re: wild food plants near you

Mostly seagrape and dominican almond with papaya, assorted bananas/plantains and chinola (passion fruit), noni (yuk!), lime - hard to tell which are native (not many I expect) and which are escapees, but these all grow widely in the scrub. Other fruiting trees that no-one seems to be able to identify. (note to self - must try harder to identify - so many fascinating plants - so little time!). People keep saying to me "what do you do all day - how do you fill your time?" and I don't know how to answer as there are not enough hours in the day. I guess that if you only like magazines and painting your nails - then life would be boring here - but if you like plants.....
