Most people consider Taraxacum officinale a weed but I like to eat the leaves in salads. I also love my Dandelion Root tea. To me Dandelion is a food and so I eat the leaves and make tea with the root. I keep it in my kitchen with all the other foods. I cook with it and put small amouts in salads, soups, wine and jelly.

It is great to have a nutritious Basil plant growing because the leaves are best used fresh and can usually be bought as a potted plant. The harvested leaves will keep only for 1 or 2 days and are best used on the day you pick them. You can freeze the leaves or dry them for putting away for future usage. Basil can also be bought dried and stored in a jar. If they are kept in a cool dark place, the leaves will last. If in a glass of water at room temperature, Basil picked for cooking is will last best.

The plant was spread, throughout the Mediterranean and into France. Many years later King Louis XIV would eat asparagus in the winter thanks to the "hot beds" in the palace gardens. Many years after Louis XIV I eat asparagus whenever I want at my neighborhood Trader Joe's.
