Wild mixed spring greens with carrots

[excuseme]

I have just picked an assortment of new wild spring greens. Dandelion (with root), Cleavers/Goose grass, nettle tops and added some carrots (from the supermarket).
Blitzed them all together and poured the gloop over the girls raw mince.
Gone in seconds

Yummy!

There's some variety of sedge growing in our garden - lord knows why, they're supposed to like boggy places and our soil is as arid as the Sahara - but it never gets very tall because Jasper loves it. Shame he won't eat the nettles & dandelions.

Lucky Jasper being able to choose his own greens. Have you thought about picking a couple of nettle tops and a couple of dandelion leaves with a couple of flowers and thoroughly blitzing them in a little water then pouring it over a meal for him? (just a desert spoon full) he might like it!
A few years ago when we had a different gang of girls, they would all line up around bramble bushes picking their own fruit, If we walked slowly enough and pointed to the dandelion flowers we had a couple of girls who enjoyed picking and eating their own flowers too.
We will have to start showing and teaching the 2 new youngsters, Dainty and VeJay how to pick their own fruit this summer. We have allowed this gang to get a bit lazy so we pick and scatter blackberries on the ground for them to hoover up, it's quicker
