That's early for the old Jack By The Hedge although I did notice some just creeping up a couple of weeks ago. I love the stuff- it's got a very garlicy taste to it-(it' also called hedge garlic). I find it goes really well in a mixed leaf salad just to add an extra flavour along with a bit of rocket mmm lovely. I'd forgotten I'd written about it in that article.

Thanks jessica! I've saved all your links and am especially interested in different ways to prepare wild greens. I think I've got the wild asparagus covered but anyone know anything about fiddleheads?

Delicious Fiddleheads
Hi again! Not a polite swearword at all!! LOL Fiddleheads are the curled up ends of the ferns in early spring, or that's what we call them, and perhaps you call them something else?
Someone told me the Pasture Brake ferns have to be boiled for nearly an hour because as raw plants, they eat important vitamins in the body? So I add garlic and teriyaki sauce and butter and that's all right, like asparagus, but soggier!
Having a swamp on the property, I also get a good number of ostrich ferns from which fiddleheads, I use raw in salads and sometimes cook for a few minutes then salt, pepper and butter 'em. Very good, I think! And free!!
Now I think I'll have to go write an article about them! What do you call them in England etc?

I think what we really need is a dictionary with all the names that things have in the various countries! I think you have different kinds of fern. We just have bracken, and I don't think the new tips in spring have a special name - or at least I haven't discovered it yet!
