Hawkbit (arriving in a month)
Dandelion (arriving)
Chickweed (arriving)
Tortoise Seed Mix (arriving)
Pothos - sparingly, possibly toxic (?)
Salvia - sparingly
Dill - moderation
Cilantro/Coriander - moderation
Rose - moderation
Sedum Adolphii - ?

*NOT Edibles:
Homalomena (probably?)
Daisy (toxic)
Elephant Ears (toxic)
Camellia (not toxic but inedible)
Parsley
Mums (possibly toxic)

*To Get:
Hibiscus tree
Mulberry tree (fruitless?)
