- elderflowers, the creamy flat clusters. dry them for tea or steep in vinegar.
- mulberries start ripening on the trees nobody planted. look up.
- wild strawberries, tiny and impossibly sweet, in sunny edges and old fields.
- plantain leaf, the broad one in every yard. a poultice for stings and cuts.
- red clover blossoms, just opening. dry for tea or eat fresh.
- black raspberry canes are flowering now. mark where they are for june.

the woods and edges are full. walk slowly and look at what grows where nobody tends it. that is what belongs here.
