The eight moon phases in an arc, from new to full and back

New Moon

Rest the beds, plan, and start leafy greens as the light returns.

Waxing

Sow and transplant above-ground crops while sap runs high.

Full Moon

Harvest, water, and gather herbs at peak vitality.

Waning

Root crops, pruning, weeding, and soil work as energy draws down.

Know the toxic look-alikesEvery forage entry shows what NOT to pick.

Wild Blackberry

Rubus fruticosus · Zones 5–9

✓ Edible — beginner safe ⚠ Look-alikes exist

Toxic look-alike panel: Always shown, never hidden. Compare against poison hemlock and nightshade before you ever pick.

Foraging, done responsibly

Safety tiers you can trust

Every wild edible is rated green, yellow, or red — and the toxic look-alike panel is always visible, because getting it wrong isn’t a typo, it’s a poisoning. It’s the same principle that guides the whole app: teach carefully, warn clearly, and never cut corners on safety.
