What are the shoots, greens, herbs, and roots that first come as the spring foraging season begins? Proceeding a foraging tour of the Appalachian Trail, I'll bring in dozens of seasonal edibles to display and discuss. You'll see common early-season species such as chickweed, dandelions, hairy bittercress, field garlic, daylilies, garlic mustard, wild carrots, black birch, and sassafras.

 Hairy Bittercress in Flower Hardly hairy and not at all bitter, this member of the mustard family is one of the best-tasting of wild greens, and it comes up in late winter, when very few other wild vegetables are available. |
