We have some on our place, but not enough to cook anymore. We use to have a lot, but don't anymore. I don't know if is because of the lack of rain or what. We have one that came up in the garden fence. Been hoping it would make more. If it is growing on your place think about eating some. Just be sure to precook it a couple of time and discard the water using fresh water each time. I never eat it after it gets big or after it puts on berries.
