well thanks to your piccies Res - I identified loads of Garlic Mustard on the way to work this morning - first time I've been able to confidently do that - Also thanks to Tahir I've realised its Jack by the Hedge - so a really good learning experience

Hopefully this weekend - if it isn't pouring down - Me and the kids are going on a foraging expedition - Even if we don't eat anything we find atleast we can have a good time identifying it all - I'll be posting piccies for the stuff we ain't sure about

Hoping to find some good mushrooms though

Jo thats great - I am in two minds whether or not to do this with my kids when they are older... I REALLY think it will give them an appreciation of the outdoors... Look forward to the pictures. Rich
