Guest guest Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 Hi, Speaking of weeds (but thought I would start a new thread) I heard somewhere that there was a book saying which weeds were edible and how to prepare them. Can anyone recommend one, as I'd like to buy one? I can't remember where I read it but it was probably here. I do remember that it apparently said that chickweed and ground elder are both edible! That might encourage me to weed the garden a bit more....... I don't know if you get ground elder in the US but it's got a stranglehold on my garden. Evil weed.....but not if it's nutritious(define)!
