Vanalope<p>Am excited when I find a "weed" growing on our property that's actually an edible plant if you know your plants. Just uprooted some purslane from driveway cracks and transplanted them to my "greens" garden bed.</p><p><a href="https://socel.net/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gardening</span></a> <a href="https://socel.net/tags/purslane" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>purslane</span></a> <a href="https://socel.net/tags/edibleweeds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>edibleweeds</span></a></p>

Miranda<p>Galium aparine <br>(Kleefkruid)</p><p>I like herbal tea. It is good for your health and each herb has its own strength and effect. This herb is good for the internal cleansing of your body. Especially your lymph nodes. </p><p>In the past, this was eaten as a vegetable and used in making cheese. This is still possible, but unfortunately most people have forgotten about it and see it as a weed.</p><p>(Always be careful about what you eat and how you process it. Know what you eat.)</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/EdibleGarden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EdibleGarden</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/EdibleWeeds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EdibleWeeds</span></a></p>
Sarah May :orangewine:<p>My friend who came over brought a homemade stuffed 'pizza' with foraged borage, cicoria, and bietole. The pastry was so flakes and delicious, no butter just EVOO. <a href="https://epicure.social/tags/cooking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cooking</span></a> <a href="https://epicure.social/tags/forage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>forage</span></a> <a href="https://epicure.social/tags/edibleweeds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>edibleweeds</span></a> <a href="https://epicure.social/tags/pizza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pizza</span></a></p>
