New Errata
Typo in main page heading: "flower heads cosisting"


Lettuce page, radicchio section, the link to Treviso is broken.


Green globe artichoke: I'm guessing "18 count" means 18 per pound?

Scotch thistle, this line is confusing: "While today it is grown mainly as a decorative and for medicinal properties, in times past the receptacles (flower bases), which can get up to 2 inches across, were eaten similar to how artichokes are eaten today." I'd change the second and third commas to dashes.


Salsify - black: typo - "you can was the latex off"

Dahlia - "It's obvious from it's name, D. coccinea, The red dahlia is one used for culinary tubers." Stray capital T. Also, why is it obvious from the name?


Heading of herbs page: "use the search engine" Link to it?

Common chinchweed, stray word "it": "In Mexico the herb it is sold"

Southern wormwood: I'd link "strewing herb" to the Wikipedia page. I'd never heard of it.

Cosmos: "blood circulation toner" WTF is that? Or rather, what do they think they mean by it?

Fuki, missing capital: "the back side"

Nipplewort, period should be comma: "in Medieval times. derived from"



And done.

New Thanks for those items - I'll get them rightly fixed.
As for "obvious from the name", perhaps that needs clarification for folks that don't live in a region with heavy exposure to Spanish (as we have here) or Italian.

         I found it a bit peculiar to see the flower picture under the topic of chocory root. - (a6l6e6x) - (6) - July 9, 2014, 02:31:24 PM EDT

You're typing on a device that stores trillions of pieces of data and makes billions of computations per second with the ability to grab data on almost anything from around the world in milliseconds, using electricity transmitted from hundreds of kilometers through wires on towers dozens of meters tall connected to megastructures that do things like burn coal as fast as entire trains can pull into the yard, or spin in the wind with blades the size of jumbo jets, or the like, which were delivered to their location by vehicles with computer-timed engines burning a fuel that was pumped up halfway around the world from up to half a dozen kilometers underground and locked into complex strata (through wells drilled by diamond-lined bores that can be remote-control steered as they go), shipped around the world in tankers with volumes the size of large city blocks and the height of apartment complexes, run through complex chemical processes in unimaginable quantities, distributed nationwide and sold to you at a corner store for $1.80 a gallon, which you then pay for with a little piece of microchipped plastic, if not a smartphone, which does all of the aforementioned computer stuff but in a box the size of your hand that tolerates getting beaten up in your pocket all day.

But technology never seems to advance...
