Ferns

Bracken ferns are unfurling their fiddle heads.  Aquilinium esculent in.  Don't eat these raw.  The should be blanched and soaked in water for a couple hours and then fried.

Ribes Sanguineum (Red Flowering Currant)

These beautiful flowers make a great addition to salads or to decorate a dish.

Thanks for showing me to Tom Kral (Natures Chef).

Evergreen huckle berries

Yumm.  The ripe ones taste just like blue berries.  The less than ripe ones are like a mild Oregon grape.
I don't know of any other berries ripe for the picking at this time of year!
 

Catkins and baby shoots

Catkins on the hazel nut trees are quite nice to look at.  The day Lillie's shooting up mean it's spring!
 

Acca sellowiana. Pineapple guava (Fejoa)

Wow this tastes really good. I hope you get to try some one day.
they are right when soft and wrinkly like a fig.

Prunus laurocerasus fruit offers a tasty snack. The seeds and leaves are poisonous so don't chew them or swallow them. Only eat the flesh from around the seeds.
