Along with gardening season comes the battle with weeds. They compete for soil nutrients, sunlight, and they enjoy disturbed soil. But did you know that many common garden weeds are actually edible? In some cases, they’re quite nutritious and delicious. The following is a list of seven common edible weeds. At least one of them, and, depending on where in North America you live, perhaps a handful of them may be growing in your yard right now. While it’s exciting to find free food and medicinal plants growing in your yard, be sure you positively identify your plants before eating. If you’re not sure, contact your local university extension.

Thanks for sharing Chaya
I have a few of those mentioned in my garden. Which we eat as steamed salad or cooked with meet. Didn't know their english name til I recognized them in the pictures.Thanks for sharing this informative article.
Marvellous, so many tasty varieties of edibles. Yes, having 8 pages is often done because of advertising purposes, more space to fill out the ads I guess. Not that we are paying attention to them!
Will be picking dandelion flowers soon to fritter after dunking them in egg and whole wheat bread crumbs thanks to a suggestion from a dandelion lover on another topic about what can be done with wild weeds, so many to choose from. Sad that more are not tasted by many and ignored or worse gotten rid of chemically!
Thank you for sharing.
Thanks, this is very good knowledgeable insight.
noted, thanks
