RE: Photo collection - Flowering grapes
This is a great example of why it's nice to keep notes or maps about the locations of plants to forage at different times of year. And why it's good to learn to identify plants at their different stages of growth. Spring is a great time to notice flowers, like these grapes -- and then come back later in the year for the fruits. Enjoy all your grapes -- that vine looks super-productive!
My maps of where to find all the good stuff are all in my head! That's a fantastic idea though, and I suggest you check out Falling fruit, a website that tries to make a full comprehensive map of edible wild plants.
Spring is a good time to look for flowering plants and trees: apple blossoms, cherries, plums, serviceberry, raspberries and others will all be signalling that it's time for pollinators to come and get their nectar!
That Falling Fruit site looks pretty good - there are over 200 entries for the town where I live. I'll have to check out those plants during this year. And add my own, I guess. Although, with all our wild blackberry patches, there really could be thousands of spots to enter into their database, lol. Here's to all that great fruit out there, growing on it's own. : )
