Miners Lettuce

Miner's Lettuce

I spotted a large, perfect, clump of Miner's Lettuce growing out of the boulder wall along my driveway. I just thought it was a cool looking plant and certainly an appropriate plant for the treasure hunting forum. The stuff is edible & was supposedly eaten by the miner's, hence the name. It's not bad!

Here's a Snow Plant that I took a photo of up near Fresno Dome:

Nice photos! What camera do you use?

It's just a Kodak Easy Share 2740 with a 10X zoom. Nothing fancy but it takes pretty good photos.

Yep, miner's lettuce is good stuff.
At one time I ate it almost every day, when there was lots around our house under oak trees.

Those plants are more mature... they got the tassels. Not the best part to eat. Take them off when you rinse 'em.

The snow plant is crazy!
Never ate one of those!

Are they good?

Thanks for the pics,

I don't know if they're good but they would sure be expensive. They are a protected plant & the fines are pretty stiff.
