What fresh spring edible are you looking forward to munching on?

I love them all! One of my neighbors grows asparagus in his front yard. Yum!

Lettuce will probably mature first, but it is the sweet peas off the vine that I just love.

Alas, at this latitude, rarely do the spears get stout, but they are so delicious thati am spoiled quite!

eat vegetables???? yuck- everything I grow is toxic and has spines anyway

PalmBob, I am shocked! Just shocked I say.... lol

I voted Lettuce ,, Only any and all from the garden are looking pretty good about now in February ..Where I am ......

Love all above & more; including spinach & green onions.

Asparagus!! Love them!!

New tomatoes from our garden-so much better than from the store.

Actually, the best is the one that volunteers: the tender little Florida pellitory, with its fragrance and taste of cucumbers.

palmbob: No Opuntia ficus-indica? Tsk! Tsk! ;-)

The poke salet is up and about ready.

farmerdill, I remember picking poke in rural TN with my gr-grandma when I was a small child. That must have been around Easter, because we always visited then. I'm not sure when it starts growing up this way.

Nothing beats a fresh pea pod, although asparagus is a close second.

This will be the FIRST year that my asparagus will sprout enough for a mouth full. I can hardly wait!!! My very first home grown as-pa-ragus!!!!

Fresh sugar snap peas, oh my! And I'll be sneaking a couple of tastes from my young asparagus patch this year. But I love all the spring "greenstuff" out there -- even dandelion greens! They're really at their best in spring when they're young & tender. Oh, and pansy blooms! especially the blue ones that seem to have an exceptional cucumber-y flavor.

I can't seem to grow lettuce that tastes even as good as what I can buy at the store, so I use the veggie garden space for other things, although I do fill in my planter boxes with a few pinches of lettuce and spinach seed early in the season.

I voted other ~ FIDDLEHEADS!!!!

Asparagus!

Asparagus is so amazing. Pick it, eat it, come back in two days, do it over again. And it will do this for two months.
Yummy!

Spinach! So cold hardy I've learned to plant in fall. Soon as we get some warm it will produce like crazy- the tiny leaves now are nutty and sweet...

I vote for lettuce! Also I love all kind of herbs...

Peas!, but I do love them all

I picked "Other". I will be growing "Rainbow Mix" carrot seed, I can hardly wait to be crunching into purple, red, yellow, and orange carrots, LOL! :)

Asparagus!

been eating lettuce for a few months now and spinach (at the near end) for a good month. will be putting in dwarf sugar snap peas next week. yay!

i just put this raised bed in this past fall and this is my first attempt at vegetables.
