The old nuisance plantain is a good source of vitamin A, iron and all minerals, and also the dandelion cooked always in three lots of rapidly boiling water, served with butter, salt and pepper. Of course the dandelion has many uses, as the florets are used in making wine, and the roots dried and ground into a form of coffee to drink.

These of course, are from the onion family and are highly scented, nevertheless, very tasty and nourishing. Lambs quarters, another nuisance weed in our gardens makes a delicious green vegetable. Stripping the bark off the sumac tree and using the tea to ease the itching and swelling swelling from black fly bitès, works wonders.
