We have a ton of it growing throughout our area in the spring and fall, and in a survival scenario would probably have a lot of chickweed salads, among other common edible plants we have found. In the spring I am thinking of making an article about how much wild edibles and game my Dad and I can collect in one day- depending on the month I am betting several buckets full, along with a stringer of fish and a couple squirrels.

However, we have an abundance of day lilies around my home. I have learned that you can snip off the buds and simmer them in water with butter and salt for about 20 minutes and they are delicious. Very similar to asparagus tips, but milder. I have also deep fried the flowers. Not bad, but not a lot of taste either. The bulbs are very interesting but a bit tedious, because I prefer to peel them. As you can imagine that’s a lot of busy work for very little reward. But when prepared like the buds, they remind me of something between a turnip and sweet corn.
