Creeping charlie, plaintain and Violet leaves are EDIBLE? Knock me over with a feather. I am so proud of being able to get plaintain out of our yard and cracks in the driveway. And creeping charlie!!?!!!??????! Whoa. I have no money right now (as usual) and this is good news. I have been eating redbud leaves, and just looked them up and now I'm not sure I believed the right person. I usually look up stuff like that online, but ..trust. Deer eat them, now that I've looked it up, and no one is saying they are poisonous.

Well, I've been eating them for a few weeks and I do have a cold, but I think that was there before I ate redbuds.

Plantain is medicinal, too, though I forget what it's traditionally reputed to cure.

Good for all kinds of stuff, looks like, this site has good tips for plantain as food, medicine, even thread:

Wow, cool stuff. I chopped some and put it in the freezer, & will eat it in soup or spaghetti sauce, or fry & put in scrambled egg.

Wow.
