Returned to an area in the mountains Sunday to see if the horsetail herb has begun to appear where I found a field of it last year. Surprisingly, I didn't find one plant in the field! We've had a cold month of May so plants are late getting started, but I thought for sure I'd at least see some sprouting heads of horsetail in the very spot I found so many last year.
Which goes to show, remember your locations and be patient - I will check back in a few weeks to see if they're appearing, because late May - early June in this region should be prime harvesting time to harvest the horsetail herb.
