Blackberry · Burdock · Garlic mustard
🗓 Season: July · August · September · March · April · May
🔍 When is it ripe?
Blackberry: Fully black (not red or dark red) and comes off the stem with no resistance — zero pull. Dull rather than shiny; a shiny black berry is still slightly underripe and tart. Eat the same day for best flavour.
Garlic mustard: Heart-shaped lower leaves and triangular upper leaves; white 4-petalled flowers. Harvest young leaves before or during flowering. Raw taste is garlicky and mustard-hot. Seeds can be used as a mustard substitute. Invasive in North America.
Blackberry brambles along both sides of this section of the trail, as well as copious amounts of burdock and garlic mustard.
This is a conservancy, so permission is needed to pick.
