The Common Poppy is a beautiful and evocative flower. It brings me hope when I see these carpeting fields of wasteland.
One of my favorite wild edibles, Hogweed is abundant, easy to identify and extreamly tasty.
One of the commonest hedgerow plants, garlic mustard can be easily identified by its distinct deep veined lillypad like leaves and garlic smell when crushed. If you know where to look, this plant can give you plenty all year.
Despite how common and easy to identify Wild Garlic is, this species is in my top ten favorite wild foods to forage. It’s versatile, delicious and plentiful. Just make sure theres enough room in your freezer.
