Considering the large portion of their budgets that most people spend for food and doctor's bills, it may come as a surprise that a "backyard salad garden," as well as a "backyard medicine chest," is there free for the taking wherever "weeds" grow freely.
This book shows how to identify and use more than two dozen wild, edible herbs which are commonly mistaken for weeds.
If you are interested in improving your diet and health, in harvesting a bountiful natural resource, or in learning to identify useful plants on your next outing, Wild Herbs is simply a wonderful little book you can put in your pocket and head for the backyard! With delightful, colored drawings and hand-lettering, this folksy little book is for people who don't want the confusion of hundreds of different plants. Wild Herbs covers just twenty-five of the most commonly found edible plants which grow almost everywhere, such as blackberry, comfrey, yellow dock, nettle, pennyroyal and plantain. Wild Herb's small format goes along with its identity as a true "pocket guide."
Additional appendices show nutritional and medicinal values, recipes and suggestions for harvesting and storing wild herbs.

Did you know that that the ubiquitous miner's lettuce (also known as "Indian lettuce" or "Spanish lettuce") makes great salad greens? That chickweed tastes like spinach when steamed but contains no oxalic acid ( a plus)? Or that the leaves of dandelion, celebrated for its downy puffballs (which can have up to 200 "parachutes," each carrying a seed as its "cargo"), is a great tonic for the liver?
