I love spring - the garden at Hillside has erupted into leaf, and it's great to see things appearing that we had no idea were there. Okay so there's no shortage of weeds - mostly thistles, nettles and swathes of Doc leaves, but amongst them there are a few gems giving us an inkling of the garden that was once there...before the goat!
In the absence of a vegetable plot (yet) it's been good to find some edible plants. By the pond there's a big patch of mint which has already been used with (shop bought) new potatoes. What we've also got in abundance, but never eaten before, is wild garlic. We've got loads of it and it looks and smells fabulous. A quick Google has come up with a few ideas of how to use it but if you've ever cooked with it or used it in salads and have a few tips let me know. If you don't know what it looks like here's a pic - the smell is pretty obvious!
