I am extremely new to the area (got here two days ago) and I've started working on landscaping my extremely overgrown yard. In a back corner I found some small, red, almost furry berries growing on a non thorney vine. I am very much into wild edibles, so if anyone knows what these are, and if they are safe to eat, I would be very greatful for the information!
They're probably false wild strawberries also known as indian strawberries and are not really edible if so. I mean they're not poisonous, but they don't have any taste, unlike real wild strawberries. Google for a picture before you do any taste-testing. We do have many poisonous plants and berries here, too. Make sure you know what you're eating, especially mushrooms, but that probably goes w/o saying.
I don't know eva, depends on what you mean by a vine. They do have runners like domesticated strawberries and many people think of those as vines. Hard to say without a picture, but I can't think of any other "almost fuzzy" red berry.
Jennytalia, check out these links and see if that's what you've got or something else...
