Would an entry on wild grapes be created? I know, that wild grapes grow along the River Raisin in southeastern Michigan (where I grew up, even though I was unaware of that fact until I was about 18). I read, also, that wild grapes grow somewhere in Texas, if I recall accurately.
I ask this question because the contact us page seems spotty.

I agree with you that I should do an entry on wild grapes and red and white mulberries. I have grapes on my to do list already, I’ll add wild mulberries. Thanks again for the input.
