First Day of Spring!


Happy Spring! I hope everyone is safe and well, and hunkered away at home, social distancing! When you want to get out, instead of heading to a crowded supermarket, our greens are finally coming up out of the ground. Here is just a sample of some of the wild edibles I found on a walk around my neighborhood this evening:

Onion Grass (Wild Chives) Allium vineale

 Stinging Nettles, Urtica dioica:

nettles

Garlic Mustard, Alliaria petiolata:

Broad Leaved Dock, Rumex obtusifolius:

Cleavers, Galium aparine:

Purple deadnettles, Lamium purpureum:

Dandelion greens, Taraxacum officinale:

I hope you prepare some delicious meals with our new spring bounty!

Stay home, stay well!

Love,
Melissa
