Its a good time to collect wild garlic (a lot tastier than the bulbs you buy in the shops) chop it up and mix with good olive oil and freeze in ice trays and they last over the winter.
Rabbits are plenty up here, I had a couple last week and cooked them in the slow cooker with black pudding carrots and onions and cider stock they were very tasty.
There some mushrooms to be had this time of year, I've just bought my self a mushroom guide book and hope to get out next week.
Interesting tip about the wild garlic. Bought a plant for my garden, so in a few years time, I may be able to harvest this crop without fear of getting it wrong. I assume you mean Ramsons, moozy?
