Spring offers so many local delicacies, from wild food foraging to garden bounty. <\/p>\n

\"Lettuce\"

\"Fresh-picked

\nEvery spring for about six weeks I pick the tenderest, most delectable asparagus from my garden almost daily.<\/p>\n

\"Edible

\nWhen I’m weeding my asparagus, I can pick chickweed for salad or lamb’s quarters for the saute pan. Fresh free food!<\/p>\n

\"Lemon

\nLemon balm makes a great tea, and it’s good for you.<\/p>\n

\"Apple
Apple Mint<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nMy favorite mint is Apple Mint. Like all mints, it can take over a garden patch, so I have two strategies. I have one patch planted out by itself, and a small patch in the kitchen garden that I keep contained by growing it in a sunken coffee can with the bottom cut out.<\/p>\n

I admit it. I ate all the fresh Finger Lakes strawberries before I could snap the photo. They were DELICIOUS!<\/p>\n

It’s your turn – what’s tickling YOUR tastebuds this spring?<\/strong><\/p>\n
