Spring Foraging in the Hudson River Valley

May 27, 2011 Erica M. Davis Leave a Comment

Ubiquitous ferns past the edible fiddlehead stage.

It’s been a number of years since I made it out east in the spring—and what a spring it is! Apparently it’s been raining more than usual, such that the outdoors is carpeted in lush new green growth the likes of which I seldom see. Coming from the Colorado high country, where snow … [Read more...]

Colorado mountain sorrel growing in a mine hole.

Purslane Rescue Mission

August 2, 2010 Erica M. Davis 4 Comments

Pennsylvania purslane

We went to the east coast for two weeks in July, and my sister met me in Maine with a small bag of New Hampshire purslane—that low branching succulent that many gardeners throw in the yard trimmings without a second thought. I promptly boiled it up and served it with butter and … [Read more...]
