However, wild vegetables are not as easy to see at a glance as artificially planted vegetables. Wild vegetables generally grow in barren hills and uninhabited river and ditch wetlands, and the wild vegetables grow in different places. Even people who live in rural areas for a long time find it difficult to accurately find the growing place of wild vegetables, let alone people. They go to the countryside to pick wild vegetables with great interest, and often return empty-handed because they can't find a place.
Then, where do wild vegetables generally grow, and how can we pick real wild vegetables?
