Important! Inclusion in this list does not imply safety. Read the full description of the plant in the full plant list, as well as information on the safety page.

The purpose of this list is to find out what plant or part of it is available at any given time. The plant part icons also help to quickly locate a food for any given purpose, and may help to plan a meal containing greens (leaves and stems), carbohydrates (roots and seeds), protein (leaves, roots and seeds) and maybe a desert (fruit). For more details refer to the full plant list. Also see information on the various parts on the Plant Parts page.

The monthly availability should only be seen as a rough guide. Variations in climate and location can make a significant difference in availability. The findings are based on observations in the moderate climate of south-west Wales, and also takes into consideration the findings of several years. This gives a range of availability with early and late harvests which may not match every location and year. Apply this information relative to your situation.

The calendar only gives details about availability of plants which are featured in the in-depth profiles. Refer to the profile for more details.
