A handful of ground ivy and another of wood sorrel and seed heads in a cup with boiling water, a tasty nutrient filled tea.

For food security, I've planted and suggest Jerusalem Artichoke. So far it has grown year after year and spread slightly. It reminds me where it's at, because it kind of looks like small sunflower. I've only harvested enough to see that it's doing fine and is a tasty source of carbs. I can't think of a reason not to have some around. Any body have a reason not to have some?
