It is a member of the mint family. You can eat the greens in a salad or cooked (supposedly better before it flowers.), and in a tea.

I was thinking of making a salad with mixed greens from my yard (or maybe mixed cooked greens)? Dock should be cooked

Creeping charlie, garlic mustard, plantain, dock ( 2 varieties), dandelion and sorrel...should be a good mix - lots of flavor! I'm tempted to put in artemitis (sp?), as I am pretty sure that is what is growing here (thanks, RC for you posting on it at your place), but since I am not 100% sure, I don't want to risk it in case I'm wrong.

If I don't like it - I can always feed it to the chooks tomorrow.

I can also add in a few daylilly roots! ( taste somewhat liek green beans - should eat them sparingly. Safe, but can act as a purgative, so small amounts is good.)

W/ grocery prices what they are maybe we should all learn what to eat out of our yards! Our hens weren't interested in the weeds ~ they wanted the cutworms!

Just to be safe we aren't chancing anything toxic to chickens or humans so we plant regular veggies like tomatoes, peppers, cukes, zucchini, lettuce, radishes, herbs, etc

I see you in the squash bed
