I actually found that Anton Vets is a really good foraging spot if anyone is ever there. They have huge willow trees, hawthorn everything that goes on a nice walk along side the practice and along rivers

Yes endless vibes for Phillip xxI’ll keep that in mind in case I’m there with Phillip over the next week!! Might as well make the most of a bad situation!
I'm wondering what this pink plant is?

Ok sure!Sorry, I can't think what this plant can be. If you see it again, try to take a photo just of the flower head and also a photo of the leaves. Theoretically it should be easy to identify as there as only a few plants with flowers that pale pink.
Ok sure!
What forage can we expect to find in the winter time? Will hawthorn still be available?

Nothing except brambles & dandelions You have 2 months max left to forage
I've found some lovely yellow flowered plants growing like weeds in my garden. I didn't know what they were and thought they were rogues among my veggies. I have absolutely no idea what they are!!
Should I post this on the gardening thread?
Or does anyone know of yellow flowered (quite large flowers) plants that are edible ... hmmm
Whaaaat. That is a crazy amount of plantain. How???Showing off my plantain haul from today

Ah c'mon, you're stretching the bounds of people's capabilities here :lol: Large yellow flowers on plants that are edible!!!!!!
Right let's get some rigour into this task :lol:
How tall is the plant?
What are the yellow fllowers like, daisy-shaped or what? In a cluster? Are the flowers on branched stems or single stem?
What are the leaves like?
How large are the flowers approx?
If it's edible, you must have tasted it, so what does it taste like?
Well I was hoping they were edible - but I am now thinking maybe not.
So I went and had another look and 'evening primrose' came to me. I have no idea why, and I have yet to google, but I am not sure they are edible, although their oil is precious?
<goes to research a bit more> .... They are taking up valuable space, but I am glad they have now flowered, because to be honest I thought they might be turning into sunflowers (for the squirrels, obviously :lol
The wild form of Evening Primrose is beautiful. I've never seen it growing in the UK, only in France. I would doubt it was edible.
