Notes

兼盛王
This attribution is only found in this poem, and it is not completely clear who it refers to, or if there is a mistake. As can be seen from the Textual Notes, the poem is sometimes attributed to Kanemi rather than Kanemori. The 後六々集 lists Kanemi as the author, while Teika's 定家八代抄, the 和歌童蒙抄, and the 大和物語 attribute it to Taira no Kanemori. The 袋草紙 has a long note on the problematic attributions of a number of Kanemori's poems, including this one. Modern commenters take various approaches: 全釈 emends the text, with Kifune claiming that it would have been wrong to use the suffix 王 with Kanemori. 新体系 says that this would have been his title prior to 950, and 新注 simply notes the various sources and says that it is probably Kanemori's composition. Finally, 和歌大系 says that either is possible, and notes that the 大和物語 is not necessarily a completely trustworthy source.

若菜
Picking young shoots is an activity seen in a number of early spring poems -- although there was sometimes a specific ritual associated with it, such as presenting the shoots to the Emperor, here it seems to be a more casual activity. cf. 枕草子: 「七日、雪まのわかなつみ、あをやかに、例はさしもさるもの目ちかからぬ所に、もてさわぎたるこそをかしけれ」
誰
Early phonetic representations of this word are always unvoiced, and the 日葡辞書 has "tarega" for 誰が. Although 誰 can sometimes be た, here it is clearly たれ to fit the meter (and following other manuscripts that write the word in kana).
