my foraging diary

[tlcwrites]

wow the sheep are lovely, i dont know what wild mint looks like can someone take some pics for me pretty please. Omi i hope your back on top form soon, at least the buns still have their forage like you said. ive been trying to grow mint but nothings happening lol..

I'll take some pics of the cut mint in the morning - before it gets scoffed. :lol:

Sending wishes for a speedy recovery, Omi. Feeling restricted is the worst. Never mind fighting your own body. Still, hopefully it'll all be worth it in the end.

thanks tlc i would love to be able to look for that when im out xx

I took these and then almost forgot to post them. Sorry it's only the cut ones; I don't have the energy to go take photos of it in "the wild". It smells amazing - and needless to say, this lot has already disappeared!

 

[willow and squiggles]

i will be on the search for that, thanks tlc. x

I can't find wild mint

Chatting to a dog walker today who showed a lot of interest in what forage I had, reckons her daughter would be up for foraging for her bunny. After I had bored her to death showing her my collection I volunteered to drop my foraging for rabbits book off ...damn I'll never get it back but at least a local domestic bunny will benefit .

Why not drop off a load of forage instead?

I'm always interested in keeping in touch with bunny folk (e.g. those I've rehomed bunnies to) because I love enriching those bunnies' lives as much as I can :lol:

I may leave my phone number in case she wants me to walk her through some basic ID (I'd love that) - I think its better to enable her to forage herself I didn't get the impression mum lived with daughter - she'd be late to fly the nest if she did :lol:x

Then you can come down here and walk me through some basic ID :lol:

First we'd have to find somewhere with something to ID :shock::lol:

In that case it'd make more sense to come here It must be frustrating not getting much, I really can't imagine. Most houses round here have about six types growing through cracks in paving :lol:

Well I did tell you that my neighbour was growing herb robert on his front gravel. When I asked you if I could steal it you said no! :lol:

Well, I failed to collect any fresh leaves this afternoon as I had a massive headache when I got in from work and fell asleep for a bit. So, I've just got back in from the pouring rain where I've been picking by torchlight.... :lol:

Oh I'm sorry! I found another huge patch of wild mint today.

If anyone's ever in my neck of the woods, I'd be happy to go foraging for it with you.

This grew well at the start of foraging season & is having a second go. It looks more silvery as it gets older. The plant in this photo has gone curly just because its obviously a fast drier
