Thanks Tony, very kind of you to say.Good to have you @Hazel It sounds like you live a very active life and I'm sure there's lots you can share with us. Looking forward to seeing you around the place
Indeed it is, I'm on that fascinating learning journey right now, and I can't wait to learn more jamariano!
I have been studying the Ethnobotany of Britain for years now - I have concentrated on native British plants (here before the Dogger flooded). My database contains around 1,400 plants but, so far, based on some 50+ reference sources I only have just over 400 that have food, medicinal, and/or utilitarian uses recorded. I keep finding the odd one or additional uses of existing ones; it's a lifelong study 
Wow, that's some work! Well done on that. It's a bit quixotic, but I'm particularly interested in uncovering botanical references in literature, Shakespeare and Elizabethan times are a niche interest of mine for example. I've started a little Physic garden which I am enjoying adding to.I have been studying the Ethnobotany of Britain for years now - I have concentrated on native British plants (here before the Dogger flooded).
