Edible Plants
Living in Lanarkshire, the damp conditions beside the Rivers Avon and Clyde provide an excellent environment for many of the plants mentioned in the above book. I have tried some of the recipes in the book including:
- wild garlic leaves in salads
- heather tea
- dandelion leaf salad
- dandelion root coffee
- comfrey leaf salad
- cooked chickweed

Summer is also when the birds rear their young. On the River Clyde a female Goosander was on the water with her youngsters. When she saw us she swam to the other side of the river with her goslings.
