Any fellow grass touchers? Would love to here about your time. I got to eat so many wild raspberries, they were so delicate but so flavorful.

Berry picking is no joke one of my favourite things to do ever. I work in tech but I've always said my calling was in berry picking.
I picked some wild garlic this year and loved it, we got raspberries growing up here, european blueberries will fruit soon, and I'm gon' go get rowanberries again too. I want to know more things to pick, foraging rules.
I always make sure a good amount is left for birds, animals and even the bugs I GUESS. But even then most of it seems to rot on the plant, sadly.
Get a foraging book for your area! There's usually free PDFs online. If you aren't sure what something is and you don't have cell service for an app like inaturalist, lick the berry (controversial but seems to work for me)! You probably won't die from licking a single berry
