The University of Life

Well, thank you. I had two lovely, detailed responses re 'gathering nuts in May...'
The nuts referred to are the bulbous roots of the umbellifer Pignut.
I contemplate digging one up to sample it every year but thus far, never have.
So,
Here's an invitation to any serious lover of wild flowers (and weeds!!)and an advocate of eating what nature's bounty has on offer: arrange a day next May and we will cautiously and respectfully unearth a pignut or two [while singing or at least muttering the Nursery Rhyme) and then, maybe, have a little taste.
