I would love to get hold of a book that will help us identify plants. Edible ones, medicinal ones and poisonous ones. For now we're making do with my rudimentary knowledge. Collecting the ones I know and ignoring the ones I don't. If you know of such a book, hit me up with a title!
Watercress is an easy one and fun to collect because it involves playing in the river. We could've spent a lot longer up here. There is some lovely fine silt that they love playing in. There's also a bigger adventure waiting around the river bend, but that's one for summertime and bare feet.
p.s. Adorable bunny bonnets by Heartfelt. I'm such a fan, and have a matching bonnet waiting for baby...
The Johanna Knox book is good, i think its called a foragers compendium? I'll look when I get home
