Edible Yards

You might be able to find these edible weeds in your gardens now – you can eat the leaves (and some flowers and stems) raw or cooked.  They are delicious and often more nutritious than your cultivated veggies anyway!

Purslane (Portulaca oleracea)**

Oxalis or Wood Sorrel (Oxalis spp.)

Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale)

Lamb’s Quarter or Wild Spinach (Chenopodium album)

Amaranth or Pigweed (Amaranthus spp.)
