looking tasty! Wink
I pick them weekly, but rarely manage that much variety... do you have any idea of how many types of weeds do you have in there?

Looks tasty. Can't wait for it to warm up in middle America so I can start harvesting. It's still all brown here .

Stells could identify the variuos plants in the mix. I recognize dandelions, narrow leaf plantain, and creeping charlie, but other members may not. It is good mix of weeds most of which are also found in N. America.

RE: Weed picking UK style

there are 8 different types in that pile, will soon be back up to 10-15 without other edible plants Smile I can feed a weed based diet all year round, sometimes in the winter it is bulked out with other greens (Romaine etc) and occassionally some squash.
No need for a manufactured diet here Wink

RE: Weed picking UK style

I also manage to pick weeds all year round, mostly Dandelion (flowers and leaves), Hawckbit (flowers and leaves), Plantain, clover (tort doesn't like it that much...), vetch, and a bunch of other weeds I have no idea what are called. But I tend to stick to those I know are safe.
What I meant before is that in each feed I only manage a variety of 3 or 4 weeds at most. I just change those 3/4 every week Wink

They are common weeds in the midwest but not in winter.
