Pretty psyched for garlic mustard and dandelion season here soon.
Paw-paw season is my favorite though because you need to plan around climbing trees and jumping around in rivers.
Got any great experiences you want to share?
It doesn’t sound like much, but I foraged a bunch of willow branches a week ago and put them into a jar of water.
They root extremely well and you can create new trees just by snapping off a few branches and placing them in a wet environment.
I will use them as a living climbing help for my plants as well as living decoration, since you can bend them to your liking and then they will grow together to form knots in the connections.
You can also make a living fence or something else entirely.
I will post a few pictures soon with more information :)
Capsella bursa-pastoris (Shepard’s purse). Last season I harvested literally thousands of seed from my back lawn and broadcast it over my property. I’m looking forward to making Shanghai wontons with it over winter. (Southern hemisphere)
Darn, that’s at the other end of the world from me. I wish I could try that
I’m pretty sure the ferns at the front of my house are ostrich ferns so hopefully some fiddleheads. Last year I had some sheep sorrell in the yard as well. So those to begin with before trying to find a reliable spot to start looking
I love to forage fruits. I’m currently learning how to recognised herbs and wild vegetable but I absolutely love to find a tree or a bush full of fruits and have some, even better coming back to pick what I need for a pie.
I miss Funghi season…
