Early spring flowers in my yard, plus some garlic that I planted in 2021 and that didn’t sprout at all in 2022, but somehow decided to stage a comeback in 2023
Scilla mischtschenkoana (White squill)
Hyacinthus orientalis (Common hyacinth)
Muscari armeniacum (Grape hyacinth)
Tulips (no idea what species/variety I planted years ago)
Vinca minor (Periwinkle/Myrtle)
Phlox divaricata (Woodland phlox)

The garden's going a bit bonkers now that Spring's actually sprung properly. And so when I've had the energy and ability to do so, I've been doing my traditional Walkabouts to see what's out. Round two's what's popping up around the yard so far 🌿
Eastern Redbud Tree (Cercis Canadensis cv Unknown)- native, AND edible!
Henbit (Lamium Amplexicaule)- an edible!
Winter Speedwell (Veronica Persica)- most Speedwell species (Veronica spp.) are edible, too!
Shephard's Purse (Capsella Bursa-Pastoris)- another edible!
Grape Hyacinth (Muscari Armeniacum)- an escaped garden plant that has now taken over; in some areas it's considered an Invasive, while in others it's Naturalized. Also edible, surprisingly, and are NOT related to true Hyacinths!
Dandelion (Taraxacum spp. Unknown)- another edible, but practically everyone knows that. Even more interesting: Did you know there's over 40 species of Dandelions, not including created garden cultivars?
Storksbill / Cranesbill (Erodium Cicutarium)- you guessed it: Also edible!
I absolutely hate my new phone because it seems like it can never get a good photo of anything. The quality's always atrocious, no matter how much I fiddle with the settings- and Macro does nothing to help in the slightest (thanks Samsung, I guess).
Anyways: Please remember that just because something IS edible, it doesn't mean you don't need to research before eating it; both wild and urban foraging requires absolute unquestionable certainty that what you're harvesting has been properly identified with 100% accuracy.
If you're ever in doubt, it's always best to leave it out! Or, in the words of the absolutely wonderful human being that is Alexis Nikole (otherwise known as @blackforager on most social media sites) "Happy snacking, DON'T DIE!"
