This fine spring-like day I established the beginnings of a bald cypress grove, planting 6 trees in the s.e. corner. Later I pruned the peach trees. It's to be like 76 tomorrow. Soon the foraging gets good. One must refresh their interest by flipping through Euell gibbons-Stalking The Wild Asparagus. Around here it's dandelion (young leaves), chicory (young leaves), red bud tree (blossoms), day lily (unopened flower buds as well as day old flowers), winter cress (new leaves) and poke weed (young shoots/leaves) I'll be munching. I'm not sure my poke transplants made it last summer so I am on the hunt for a source. Young lambs quarters leaves are also most excellent, but amazingly I don't seem to have any here. Purslane is another plant I need to come up with.
