Greens, shoots and roots

Spring in a British wood can feel like walking through a larder. Nettles push up along the edges, wild garlic carpets the damp ground, cleavers scramble over the hedge, and the first dandelions open on the banks. All of these are good food. Some of them grow right beside plants that can kill you.
