Never saw wild asparagus. I believe you, I just never saw it.

Wild asparagus grows all around here, and does particularly well in freeway culverts (maybe the plants to well with a high salt-content soil?).

Dandelion greens are at their best in the first weeks of spring, very tender and much less bitter than they are through the warmer months.

We used to pick wild asparagus about this time of year when I was a kid back in South Dakota. It was probably seeded from domestic plants but was very abundant back then. We would get literally bushels full. I don’t think it is quite as plentiful now because of the use of herbicides on the farms now. It was quite a treat either parboiled with butter or pickled with dill.

also, cattail roots provide a nice mild onion flavor
