Neither do most Californians !

Never had a broody so I don't know, but I hope she'll stick to it this time.

A thought on calcium & foraging

Could oxalic acid in leaves like dandelions work against calcium absorption? Just thinking in terms of human nutrition, that used to be an issue at least (as in spinach has calcium, but the presence of oxalic acid counteracts absorption, so hard to say how much calcium is really getting in?)

Interesting...more to read about for me...
