Hi there everyone, I'm knew to the forum, I'm looking to start a knew
gardening
service in London based on edible landscaping.
I'm looking at more unusual food sources, and was wondering if anyone
has eaten
rosa rugosa hips, and know of any especially tasty varieties
of rugosa.

Another one i'm interested in is Berberis georgii - it produces copious
amounts
of berries and is a great low maintenance plant - in the
unlikely event anyone
has tasted them let me know!

Also has anyone eaten musk mallow leaves, ive read they make a good
alternative
to lettuce in salads (the flowers are also edible).

I am also stuck for good plant sources of protein that are perennial
and not of
too vast proportians. Other than Bamboo shoots and the
obvious nut trees, I'm
struggling finding something smaller for the
average garden. Does anyone
know/can think of anything?
Cheers, Marc

p.s What are peoples experiences with slugs and wild strawberries, do
they show
good resilience or am i going to be looking at a lot of
stalks!
