What did you harvest recently? Post photos if you like, and brag about what you grew or foraged.

I have a peach tree that has about 20 tiny peaches that should be ready in early summer. I had a few strawberries but it looks like I’ll not have more this season.
Is it the first time that the peach tree is fruiting? :)
Second, it fruited last summer mere months after planting. The 3 peaches we got then were delicious.
Grafted tree, I presume? If it can ripen all of the fruits this year, then it will have passed the test. Exciting things to come.
Grafted, yes. It was about a person high when I bought it. It has definitely spread its roots and grown 50% in height since. I’m pretty confident.
Rhubarb
…I don’t know how to tell you this.
Slime mold is my favorite fruit…
…I can’t argue with that.
Way too early for fruits to ripen or even sprout at this time of year in this part of the world. There will be cherries in about a months time, but can’t really think of any earlier fruits.
There are no fruits ripening currently but I did eat some young dandelion greens in a salad this week. They were much less bitter than when I had them last year in the middle of the summer. The next thing I have planned to forage are our ostrich fern fiddleheads which I have missed harvesting it the last year since I waited too long.
I’ve heard of people eating ferns like that, but I only eat angiosperms myself. What do fiddleheads taste like?
I haven’t got to try mine yet. So I am not sure. Apparently they taste a little like asparagus which I think is used as a comparison for a lot of things. I did have some milkweed stems last year that were similar to asparagus
