Where did February go?
I know February is a short month, but wow, did that just fly by! Even before I flipped the page on the calendar, I could see the beginnings of mustard greens and flower buds in my neighborhood.
There's still plenty of snow on the mountains, and I'm not packing my skies away just yet. But down here at 7,000 feet, I'm getting reacquainted with my special spots. I'll be checking for dock, keeping an eye out for plum blossoms, and watching the Siberian elms for the first signs of samaras.
This month I'm sharing recipes for early spring greens and edible flowers. And if you want a quick refresher course on which greens may be appearing soon at a field or park near you, check out this free video. It's a webinar I recorded this time last year. You have to create an account to watch the video, but there's no charge, and I promise you won't get duplicate emails or newsletters as a result!
If you have a moment, let me know what you're foraging for this month. I'd love a little crowd-sourced inspiration to start off the new growing season.
Happy Foraging!
