Foraging at the Herdsman

More news on the urban foraging front.

Seen yesterday, a middle-aged woman in a 4 wheel-drive, parked outside the Herdsman market. She was harvesting rosemary from the hedge beside the car-park rather than paying $4.00 inside for a few sprigs in a plastic container. I'd be concerned about the exhaust fumey flavour of this particular rosemary however.

Also noted at the weekend at Vasse Felix winery, rain water was offered instead of the usual tap water.

And one more example of sustaining yourself from the local environment - my cat brought in a large frog from the garden and deposited him in the kitchen yesterday evening. Thankfully he was unharmed and I released him into our extensive wetland area, but you have to applaud a self-sufficient cat.
