•Lamb's Quarter [Chenopodium sp.] (plant in low-nitrogen soil to prevent nitrate buildup in plant; eat fresh or like spinach early in the season, under 12" tall, stems get woody later on; adult plant is great for 1000s of seed for microgreens; leaf miner loves it highly invasive)
•Chickweed [Stellaria media] (loves cool weather, eat when young, older growth get "stemmy", best as salad green; as a pot herb it will suds up the water)
•Pokeweed [Phytolacca americana] (permanent planting spot like asparagus, only eat youngest shoots early in season under 12", read up on how to properly cook; very poisonous otherwise; never fails to produce, seeds easily for microgreens)
•Common Burdock [Ambrosia artemisiifolia] (plant in a very tall hill; excavate taproot in the first year, eat it then, google for Asian recipes "gobo"; 2nd year plants can't be eaten, but produce seeds then, seeds have fiberglass-like hairs so be careful when handling them)
•Redroot Pigweed [Amaranthus retroflexus] (best as microgreens; grow indoors for best results. because everything eats it, eventhough it can tough through it; plant in low-nitrogen soil to prevent nitrate build up; highly invasive)
•Hairy Bittercress [Cardamine hirsuta] (salad green, use sparingly)
•Thistle [Cirsium sp.] (Eat roots, use sparingly as it will cause gas; highly invasive!)
