Weeds are occupying my hanging planter that used to house cilantro. The consequence of neglecting a planter.
But this one right here looks almost edible. What is it?
This next one I know. Stinging Nettles. At least now I know. It stung me. Ouch, ouch…
It’s edible. Should I try it?

My peach tree is in bloom. I have yet to taste a single ripened fruit from this tree, even though this scene recurs every year for the last five years.
This is a Flat Wonderful Peach and it suffers from brown rot. Before the fruits reach a decent size, they usually start rotting. Anybody has suggestions what to do? Organically?
The flowers are supposedly edible in small quantities (according to Green Deane of Eat The Weeds), but I’m not taking chances. I’m only using them to decorate my Thai Beef Salad.
Oh, and Happy Earth Day!!

I seem to be hung up on the eff word. No, not THAT eff word! I’m talking about my last post and these words: Fiesta Friday, Forager’s Frittata, Forager’s French Toast, Farfalle Fungi… I thought about that last one, but decided against it. It was stretching it and getting predictable.

A forager’s first harvest of the season. Yes, this is what a forager’s harvest looks like. Pretty awesome, isn’t it?
Clockwise, starting from the top: Dandelion blossoms & greens, field garlic, purple deadnettles, chickweed, curly dock leaves, mouse-eared chickweed.
