It's official, Spring is here!
I am going out on a limb and declaring no more freeze! I was driving down the road from the highway to the farm and, suddenly, the mesquite trees are leafing out.
Ok, the little ones are really covered in leaves but you can't really trust those little whipper snappers. They don't have enough life experience, get excited and bloom too early!
But, the adults have unfurled enough that you can see the yellow-green leaves in the sunlight. So, to test my theory, I jumped out of the car as soon as I got home and checked with our grandmother and grandfather mesquite.....and, yes, there they were. Not as many, just peeking out...but, there they were. Mesquite leaves! It's official!!!!
So, that puts me in the mood for some foraging! Join me tomorrow and we will go foraging for the edible weeds! I think you will be surprised at what we find to eat!
See you tomorrow- bring your snips and foraging bag!
