Back in November we made Sorrell Soup.
Tom spotted the spikey greens in the sand alongside the drive to the house. Just where it was supposed to be. Wild sorrell is found on sandy roadsides in coastal areas on the east coast. Flowers from March to May -- Peterson's Guide.
Our neighbor with a southern facing slope planted the bigger leafed garden variety, and he gave us some. Outstanding in salads.

I love eating fresh sorrell when it blossoms(?), I usually ate it as a child, but I have never tried it cooked or in salad. It is high time I do.
