Well, happy feast month to you, then! Can you tell us what's the scientific name for ladies fingers? I can only find pictures of okra on Google...

Nettle tops are my no1 for this month. Very green and tasty. Make the most of them before they get tough.

I have a great crop of young dandelion leaves in the garden which are looking extremely inviting. I love April too, it's the best part of the year for me and not just because it's my birthday this month

Got some nice sorrel yesterday. The wild garlic's getting a bit past it, though still good in the cooler/shadier ares.

The wild garlic is getting past it? That's interesting, the stuff I've seen is just getting into its prime. I presume you like it best young and tender? (the garlic, that is). Rather than older and more potent? (still the garlic, before you ask).

I'll be Jim Dale; being stupid and falling over things are endearing character traits of mine.
