Garden leaves/greens that can be eaten
Found this interesting:

Thanks Nan, Should be fixed
Now if I could just remember all of the "weeds" and other source of edibles that grow all around us. Last edited by mensplace; February 20, 2018 at 08:51 PM. |

Thanks for posting! I'm growing in containers mostly right now and like to make stews and soups, so anything extra edible really helps. Didn't realize bean leaves were. Hmmm...

Here, many live for Spring...poke salad, cress from the yard, sorrel, and some even eat kudzu, never mind harvesting the medicinal herbs

They mention radish leaves but forgot radish pods- just as yummy as the root & doesn't kill the plant.
As for weeds, wild chives, garlic mustard, lamb's quarters leaves & seeds, broadleaf plantain, narrow leaf plantain, chickweed, dandelions, violet flowers. The first three are my faves. Nan |

Mmm Oakley. Why fight the mice or rabbits for that first dandelion leaf?
In the weeds though, dandelion and chickweed are my faves. Got a patch of chickweed in the greenhouse all winter long too. Of course by now my indoor greens are well into the 'cut and come' size. Spring is far too late for me. |
