I hate weeds. As someone who likes to have their yard looking beautiful year round I hate the sight of these pesky little plants when they pop up in my garden. Not only do they cause problems but it also means that I have to get out there and pull them up as this seems to be the only all natural way to truly get rid of them by the root!
So I was super surprised when I found out that there were certain weeds that we useful!! I mean I knew that dandelions were useful when it comes to entertainment and making wishes but I never knew that this kind of weed had some benefits!
So what I have done is compile some information that I have learned for you, so you too can know the benefits and maybe even impress your friends with your knowledge!

Plantain. Very High in Iron and a good herb for women because of it. It has so many uses, new leaves are great in salad’s.
Love plantain salve! It is the only thing that had actually rid me of acne.

Plantain also fixes nitrogen in it’s roots.
Many of the plants that we think of as weeds (plaintain, comfrey, dandelion) were brought here by immigrants who knew their purpose, and wanted to make sure they had them in a new location.
This is not a weed, its a great resource
They grow freely all over my garden. What better way to spend the day in the garden, eating the weeds. 😀
I’m gathering seed pods and putting them in my yard.
