Asparagus is my rite of spring. I'd eat Smokepoles cress without a worry though.

Either A) his sense of humor is in the freezer too or B) he picked some other green to smoke. It is Colorado after all, home of the brave, pot heads and gun control..

SP, envious of your knowledge. If I knew what to look for, I'd pick it, cook it, and eat it. Of course, you could always invite me over!

Good day. Just got done putting away the rifles. A .260 and a 6.5-05, both shooting like champs. Got a good 3-mile walk in this morning, and got some stuff done around the house. And to top it off I got to trade insults with Rodney Dangerfield and Rodney Junior. What's not to like.

SP- how do you prepare them? I love mustard greens. Well, first I rinse the dog piss off 'em, then cover with water, throw in some salt pork, and cook until they're tender. I like a little vinegar on 'em, or a little cayenne. lol. Well done.

Thanks for the reminder. I'll have to go out in the field and look for the first of the mustard greens, and check the lawn for dandylions. A pot of greens sounds nice. I've all ready had my first pick of asparagus and some chives from the garden. Something wild is in order though.
Wish we had some ramps (leeks in NW PA) around, those are tasty this time of year.
Enjoy those goodies folks or you'll have to wait until next spring.

I have a bunch of that stuff in my field. I shoot the rabbits that eat it and then eat the rabbits.
I'm guessing if I was from Colorado I'd be eating the green stuff and taking pictures of the rabbits... You would be eating alone then. There is much better stuff here.

The only " spring rite" I remember was cleaning the entire inside of the house floor to sealing with Lysol. Soon after the "inside" of each resident was cleaned with a dose of castor oil.

What Spring? Still snowing right now. You guys have been hammered. Usually around this time of year we get one last snowstorm but today it'll be 75, tomorrow a little warmer. Asparagus will be next around here. Wish I knew more about mushrooms, there are all kinds in the mtns.

Being able to reconize free, organic vegetables is a good skill to have. Like Madmooner I wish I knew more.
