Merry April!

New article for foraging this month to be found here:

https://www.downsizer.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=v

If you've read that, you'll know that I'm always really excited by foraging in April. It's a great month.

Happy hunting,

Cab.

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...

Geek.

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 expect some of the boys will be prepared to consider your qualifications

Are you qualified?

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