What plant looks like wild strawberry? i should remember to take camera out sometimes
I have just been looking at earlier posts on this thread and knew I had seen it before. I had took a photo in May 2016 and figured out it was yellow woodland poppy. It's page 20 of this thread:lol:
Just been foraging and took loads of photos of common stuff most of us pick, while it's all in the early stages of growing. Thought it might help having photos all together again so anyone new doesn't have to read loads of the thread. If anyone has any I've missed off please add them.
I've tried to take a close up and then one of the whole plant. The hazel is of the leaves then of the grouping of the tree trunks, which is easy to spot most time because of the many trees grouped together and the bronze looking bark. I will get cleavers willow herb and cow parsley tomorrow.

Yeah I agree omi. I think I spotted some dock today, which I've never seen when it's small before. I'm going to get some pics of that too. I brought 2 different kinds home but I think the smaller one, which I thought might be sorrel, is really lords and ladies.
Of all the forage I can ID I can't spot a sorrel.
I know joeyandboo picks dock so maybe she can post pics of some she picks :lol:
Just reading about wild strawberry - can buns eat this? And what about the tiny fruits as a treat?
We have a great spot we harvest wild strawberry every year and make yummy strawberry jam. My goodness it's quite some work harvesting enough of it, though. Worth it - it's so tasty.
I think I've narrowed the one I'm going to pick. I think it's young curly dock. I will try to find some later. Them lords and ladies scare me. I'm only going to feed very young leaves.
I collect enough different types but I keep coming across these plants. Thanks on I I would love to have your knowledge. Have you got an online resource I could look at to learn the different plant families from.
Yes, Wild Strawberry leaves and fruit is fine for bunnies. Gosh I can imagine how long it would take to pick sufficient for jam! But, yes I agree, very tasty
