    Way too early for fruits to ripen or even sprout at this time of year in this part of the world. There will be cherries in about a months time, but can’t really think of any earlier fruits.

    There are no fruits ripening currently but I did eat some young dandelion greens in a salad this week. They were much less bitter than when I had them last year in the middle of the summer. The next thing I have planned to forage are our ostrich fern fiddleheads which I have missed harvesting it the last year since I waited too long.

      I’ve heard of people eating ferns like that, but I only eat angiosperms myself. What do fiddleheads taste like?

        I haven’t got to try mine yet. So I am not sure. Apparently they taste a little like asparagus which I think is used as a comparison for a lot of things. I did have some milkweed stems last year that were similar to asparagus
