Thanks for the list of all the helpful sites. Another really helpful one is the Plants for a Future database. http://www.ibiblio.org/pfaf/D_search.html They have about 7000 plants in the database so far and are compiling information about the plant's use.
I was looking in it this morning to see if berries from mile-a-minute Polygonum perfoliatum (if you don't know this plant think baby kudzu with the vines made of tiny hand ripping saw blades with really pretty little berries)could be used as a dye. I still don't know the answer to that question, but I did find out that the leaves and berries are edible along with some other info about it's medicinal uses at the PFAF site http://www.ibiblio.org/pfaf/cgi-bin/arr_html?Polygonum+perfoliatum .
