In preparation for
tonight's dinner, hosted at Harvard, I headed out to my favorite one-town-shopping foraging spot - J.P. It started pretty mildly with some not so great tasting linden leaves, but started to pick up speed the deeper I got. I was able to gather a quick bag of nettles and some milkweed shoots, and then I headed over to the giant composting dirt mound area at Peter's Hill in the arboretum. Mountains of chickweed, lamb's quarters, and pokeweed, three top notch spring veggies.
Of course, while I was upon a mountain of lamb's quarters, I get a call from my work. It was 9:30am. I was supposed to be at the 9:00 meeting. Instead of "I'm on a mountain of great edible weeds!" which I was tempted to say, I went with "Oh...I'm not there", to which I got a reasonable "Duh" response.
I ate some of those weeds during the 12 o'clock meeting. But I'm really looking forward to getting into all that pokeweed!

I looked at the tree's the other day. Jay's keeping them up well. He did a ton of landscaping work out back, looks good.
