Weeds of the Season

With all the new growth, rain, sun and fair weather of spring, brings lots of plants. Every year I start off on a quest to try to identify what plants are what, so as not to throw away perfectly edible plants. This year, I will try to id and catalog all the plants that have grown on our land.

Today I spent 8 hours weeding, mulching, edging, pruning etc. etc. It was awesome. I'm super sore too. But...here are the weeds (food) most prevalent in our yard and beds this spring.
1. Canada Thistle
2. Purple Dead Nettle
3. Prickly Lettuce
4. Garlic Mustard
5. Dandelion
6. Onion Grass
7. Wild Strawberry (Indian Strawberry)
8. Common Groundsel
9. Plantain
10. Clover
11. Speedwell
12. May Apples
13. Mullein
14. Burdock
15. Early Poke
16.
