Though Norden Wood retains its winter emptiness there are signs of what's to come poking through the deep leaf litter. Here and there amongst the open stand clumps of young Ramson (wild garlic) leafs are making themselves known. Although early it wont be be so long until the entire woodland is carpeted in verdant garlic smelling greenery. As much a joy as foraging, is looking for the signs of what's to come forage wise. You look forward to different seasons, different parts of the year for the short term foraging treats they bring. A transient abundance, then nothing until next year. You also associate different locations with the resources available there and so frequently your visits to those place are dictated their particular season of abundance. Thinking about it, there are some places that I've only ever seen in one season.
