Lilred, as Rubicon said we do have wild peppermint here in West Virginia. use to eat a lot of it as a child, also made tea out of it.
Rubicon, I got some ramps and pickled some, they are getting some good size bulbs on them, I was going to try try some fiddlehead ferns, but most of them had already started to unroll. if I'm correct, you need to get them when they first come through the ground and rolled tight, is this right Lilred ? I wanted to try some but I reckon I was about a week late .
