Look what's blooming outside the front door , they're beautiful !
Hairy Bittercress is popping up everywhere , a blogging friend helped me i.d. this plant last week. I tried a few raw leaves last week and they tasted delicious. I don't know why it called Hairy Bittercress , it wasn't hairy or bitter tasting at all. The leaves will be a wonderful addition to my tossed salads.
The Chickweed is starting to get large enough to harvest soon. I'm looking forward to some chickweed pasta soon.
Wild onions are growing , hope to gather plenty this year to dehydrate. Another blogging friend told me about dehydrating the wild onions last year , I had never thought about doing that. Turns out they're delicious , we've used them in scrambled eggs , sprinkled over baked potatoes or added to mashed potatoes like chives and added to soups. They actually have a sweet taste once they're dried.
Dandelion are starting to come up too , looking forward to those blossoms !
And look at the garlic , it's really taken off. Yep , looks like we are having a early Spring. Although I know we'll have a few more cold days that will probably damage several plants and trees that will be budding or blooming. Unfortunately that's a price we pay for having nice weather this early in the south. But , it won't hurt the garlic , it's very hardy.

Seeing all that yummy green stuff makes me wish I could come visit.
ReplyDeleteYour daffodils are gorgeous!!! :0)
ReplyDeleteMy wild onions are really tall. Last year I collected a lot and chopped them and then froze them. Think I'll try dehydrating them....
Looks like spring is truly on the way to your place.
