Jack in the hedge is garlic mustard!

Went on a foraging walk this afternoon. Only the leader and 3 people - but it was raining!

Under a hedge in the park was some "Jack-in-the-hedge", which I discovered is also called "Garlic mustard". (see picture below.)

I've been interested in garlic mustard for years, but having now tasted it, won't be bothering with it again.

We also found plenty of "Three-cornered leek". This I had recently read about in the newly published Edible Perennial Gardening by Anni Kelsey. It's named for the shape of its stem. Very interested to try it - and loved the taste. Definitely going to grow some. A lot of what we found was growing under trees, flowering before the trees got properly in leaf - so suitable to go under the overhang of my neighbour's ash tree.
