Dining on Weeds
It’s springtime. Weeds are popping up in your yard. Let’s eat them!
Join our May workshop to learn using weeds for Saute’es, Soups, Cookies, Pancakes, Smoothies … and more!
Providing you maintain an organic yard, edible weeds are highly nutritious, delicious, easy to prepare, and free!
A few edible weeds growing in Northeast Indiana yards this May are Dandelions, Fleabane, Plantain, Wood Sorrell, Violets, Wild allium (onion, garlic), Purple Dead Nettle, and Ground Ivy (Creeping Charlie). Lambsquarter will flourish all summer, providing “wild spinach”, and it is a beautiful plant.
