I've started two new things at more or less the same
time: I'm rotating my foods so I don't end up with
even more allergies/intolerances/sensitivities, and
I've been picking some of my vegetables from the field
and the weeds in my garden.  (Amazing how many
delicious wild vegetables spring up in disturbed
ground - but if I don't get some goosefoot soon, I'm
going to start looking for seeds!)

Of course, this requires a little more botanical
knowledge than foraging at the grocery store, because
of the wider variety.  I know that mustard is a
crucifer, and dandelion in the same family as lettuce,
but what families give us violets, ground ivy,
milkweed, chickweed, and plantain (the lawn weed, not
the banana)?  For that matter, what about day lilies
and burdock?

Have we any botanists who can help me out, or an
online source?

Thanks.

Andrea
