Unfortunately, I'm not sure what many of them are! But last week I destroyed burdock and chicory in my weeding, and now see that parts are edible! After your post, I was encouraged to remember that I've been harvesting mint and wild strawberries and raspberries for years, and have even made bergamot tea from my perennial garden. So I haven't been totally wasteful. But there is a lot that could be used. I remember Mom used to cook up a mess of dandelions early in the spring. She and Dad liked it, but I've never been fond of bitter greens, even though I've learned that they're valuable nutritionally.
