hi ho, fellow weed eaters,you are not alone. may i suggest eat the weeds.com i.e, and please don’t limit yourselves to pesto recipes. for instance,mustard greens on a avocado or hummus sandwich,yum! we’re surrounded with organic free, edible,delicious,nutritious food. just learn to recognize it,be very sure it’s the correct species, not a toxic lookalike. don’t harvest along highways or railroad tracks or where some moron sprayed perfectly good food. otherwise pig-out. one more thing, have the neighbors over for a weed tasting and serve dandelion wine to wash it all down.

Yes, garlic mustard is a pernicious weed. However, I’m glad to hear it’s so tasty. Thanks for the recipe. This is, as you say, literally “weed and feed.” Might make weeding less of a chore. On the other hand, I take that back: still a chore, but more delicious.

Love this post! I desperately searched early spring farmer’s markets for edible weeds they may have harvested to sell… when I asked around I felt the need to make excuses such as `I live in the city, see, and there isn’t a good clean source for dandelion greens’ etc, sadly I was turned away with curious looks! I wish I was there to be your guinea pig. Spring greens are said to be nutritionally superior! Eat up! Oh, and keep us posted if you try the stinging nettle, I’ve always wondered how that one works.
