Eat your Greens!

Purple Mustard and little cleavers underneath

Lots of cleavers and a few dandelions in the compost pile
Don't forget to eat your greens! They provide valuable vitamins and if you grow them yourself, you can just add a few leaves at a time to each dish, or even add a leaf to your sandwich for a nice digestive stimulant. Here is a picture of some kind of purple mustard green with a few  little cleaver plants coming up underneath. This picture was taken in early December! At least in the Pacific Northwest we can find a little bit of nutrition in our own backyards all year long.
