I was out in Kringen’s garden the other day, admiring her many lovely plants. She has a number of Hostas coming up and I remembered reading that they are edible. We wondered at the time how you would actually prepare them for eating. Here is an article that says you can use the leaves like spinach (although the author doesn’t say that they *taste* like spinach). From the same site, here’s a recipe for Hosta Potato Dumplings. According to this website, hosta are called giboshi in Japanese. The young leaves are sold in grocery stores in the spring.
Apparently you can
eat
daylilies, too.
