This list available at: http://www.slideshare.net/cvadheim/gourmet-greens-list
* may not be immediately local, but is a CA native plant
** light: FS=full sun; PS=part shade; FSH=full shade
+ Water Zones: 1 = no summer water; 1-2 = very occasional summer water (several times per summer); 2 = let soil dry out between waterings;
2-3 some regular summer water (about once a week); 3 = regular watering/moist soil (like a conventional lawn)
Note: Be sure that you know how to properly identify and prepare native plants before you eat them. Some plant parts are toxic,
as are large quantities of some plants. It’s always safest to label the edible plants in your garden until you get to know them.
