Weeds: Friend or Foe?

Created for use alongside a session I'm leading for our local Earth Day Celebration, 2021. Please add your discoveries and recipes.

Chickweed
This sweet little ground cover plant is often overlooked, to our loss. Both great medicine and free food with a pleasant taste.

Creeping Charlie / Ground Ivy
How much money & time is spent to try to eradicate creeping Charlie from yards? Perhaps its tenacity is an indication of its usefulness.

Dandelion
Dandelion oh dandelion - let me sing your praises! In my opinion, dandelion is beneficial for everyone for everything. It's that good.

Lamb's Quarters
Lamb's quarters, a very common "weed" in our area, is actually related to quinoa. A very nutritional and free food.

Nettles
Yes, this is stinging nettles. Yes, it stings. But it is also a free superfood "weed" which loses its sting with blanching or drying.

Plantain
A very common lawn weed that is difficult to eradicate. Thank goodness. It has so much to offer both medicinally and nutritionally!

Purslane
If you haven't eaten purslane before, be sure to check out this information. It's a very abundant free food that can be used in many ways.

Wild Mustard
Wild mustard, one of the earliest plants to show up in the spring and stays around until frost, offering its goodness through three seasons!

Wood Sorrel
Wood sorrel is one of my favorite munching weeds, due to its lemony, bright flavor and abundance all around us.

Yarrow
Yarrow is not exactly tasty, but is so useful, especially if you spend time outdoors, I added it here. And, hey, some folks like it in tea.
