Wild edibles

[Nice65]

I’ve just planted some in ours much to the bewilderment of my mother who is in Somerset and complains bitterly that the woods around her have nothing but ramsons growing in them.

Better that than the Dog Mercury that carpets the woodlands here.

Our village snow is gone. We are carpeted with 'Dog-Logs' again.
My grape vines all refuse to budge even a single enlarging bud.
I wonder what they know that I don't/\.

It is very tempting as I love them in all sorts of meals but our management plan is 'no introductions' I'm afraid.

I've been told they spread like wildfire too , so not easy to control in a woodland environment.

Maybe fine in a pot in the kitchen ...

Went for a short lunchtime walk earlier in the week and counted 18 wild edibles. In particular the Lady's Smock, Jack-by-the-Hedge, Fern Fiddles and Horestail shoots caught my attention

Lots of cuckoo flower out this way too. Seems to be way more than the past several years.

being just off the Old Kent Road, not sure that anything foraged locally is safe to eat... there are woods in Sydenham but not sure what secrets they may reveal... when i visit, i'll make a point of it being a foraging expedition and share what i find... so far, most of my foraging has been theoretical... great thread with great info...
