we’ve got some nice wood anenomes and some blue bells coming through at the moment. The forget-me-not was trampled by the dog and the primroses are doing well too. I might take some pictures tomorrow if it’s nice.
Yep, I noticed the multitude of wild flowers in the woods today – carpets of little yellow, white, and violet, coloured flowers, sometimes mixed. No idea what they were called but the looked very pretty and I felt strangely connected to my feminine side – not something which happens very often.
Pulled a load of lesser celandine up from my garden last night. Hope that in doing so I don’t promote more growth as is possible with the little tubey things spreading.
Wild garlic, homegrown spinach, mint and pea soup last night.
The blue bells on the malverns are starting to come out, but not in big carpets yet. Wondering if the drought will stop them from being quite so thick and lush this year…
Thinking about going out to pick some nettles later…
The blue bells in Marple are starting to come out, but not in big carpets yet. Wondering if the constant down pours will stop them from being quite so thick and lush this year…

redthunder – how’s your wildflower mini meadow coming along? We’re about to strim and dig ours sometime over the weekend
and…they were bloody lovely. Nom factor 7/10.
Not sure how much flavour came from the onions and herbs (I used a handful stuff like parsley & dill from the garden rather than the two in the recipe), but there was a very distinct “flowery” flavour from the dandelions. And of course the crispy batter cant help.
If you’ve got a spare hour tomorrow, I highly recommend taking the kids out with a bag and have a go.
