To some gardeners weeds are the bane of their existence, to others they are nothing more than plants growing where they shouldn’t. To some enlightened gardeners weeds are a delicacy. The secret really is knowing which are good weeds and which are bad weeds.
Good weeds I will define as edible plants that are growing in places you don’t want them to grow. Bad weeds are everything else.
Some good weeds are dandelions and purslane.
Dandelions are packed with Vitamins A, C, & K. Purslane has an abundance of Vitamins A & C.
