A couple cool things I learned recently

[xiphias]

From Harold McGee's book . . .

I knew that Queen Anne's Lace was a wild relative of the carrot, and which has a root which is edible and carrot-like.

What I didn't know was that it wasn't a precursor of the carrot -- but rather an escaped cultivar. It's a descendant of the carrot -- not an ancestor.

Also, the raspberry is actually a stone fruit. Well, actually, a big clump of lots of tiny little stone fruits all stuck together.

Also also, our raspberry bushes are now fruiting and yummy.
