Edible Elm seed
This foraging chef says that these are his favorite. He tells you everything from what & when to forage to how to prepare it, including links to recipes at the bottom. I think this is something we will try, because it generally is not difficult to find elm trees in our general area.

Foraging Calendars for North America! PDF
What a great resource! These are not free (nor should they be with the work that will have been put into them). Find which one suits your area. I think I will get one and continue to add any extra plants/herbs that might not be listed in my area if it is a printable calendar.

Ramsons butter, ramsons salt

Foraging article
This is just an introduction-to-foraging article, but it has some unusual entries like tumbleweeds and sycamore seeds. (Never thought of pickling and canning tumbleweeds before!
