Weed Photos

Libby (plot 5) provided pictures of some common weeds which can be eaten or have medicinal value:



The picture above shows lamb's quarters. This plant is edible and nutritious. Libby recommends eating plants that are shorter and younger than the one pictures. Be sure to pull older plants before they spread!


The picture above shows purslane. This weed is also edible.

This is a picture of ground ivy (a.k.a. creeping charlie). This plant isn't edible, but can be used to make tea. It is a member of the mint family.

Thanks Libby for providing these pictures and for the useful information about these weeds!
