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).

Are you qualified?

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

Went out this morning with Cabs article in hand, turned out to be a failure as a forage and even the mushroom pics I did take came out blurred but here are a couple of nice images.

My nature knowledge is appalling, I can't even answer that

I am really hoping that over this year it will improve.
