More on the weeds in my garden

Turns out two of my bad weeds (and they are still bad even if useful) are edible.  I picked up a copy of Winter Gardening in the Pacific Northwest by Binda Colebrook from my local library last night and was thumbing through it this morning.  Both chickweed and dandelion were listed as vegetables.  Chickweed, unopened dandelion flowers, and blanched dandelion leaves can be added to salads -- and you can make medicinal tea from dandelion roots.  Who knew?!  Well given what a simple internet search reveals, a lot of other folks....
