Its a beautiful day.
Buried beneath the ground is a delicious treat known as the pignut. A small edible golden brown tuber.
The tuber supplies the energy and resource required to produce the new plant and flower in the spring.
I recently uploaded a short video on finding and harvesting this wonderful springtime wild food.
Enjoy and please subscribe to my channel

Bilberries
One of the joys of late summer and autumn for me is picking Bilberries a relative of the Blueberry
I often visit this area in particular which is located in the South of Northern Ireland.
The pictures show typical habitat and what the bilberry flowers look like in late April before they become berrys. The crop yield this year looks great!
