I love edible weeds like these: delicious herbs that show up of their own accord and thrive without care in our garden. Here are some of my favourites.

Edible weeds in my Auckland garden
The other day a friend saw I had a bowl of nasturtium leaves on the bench, along with other salad ingredients. "Are those a vegetable?", she asked. She was very excited when I said they were - she has lots of them growing in her garden and thought they were 'only a weed'. Inspired, I enthusiastically showed her the oxalis that was going into the same salad. She was positively ecstatic about that one: apparently it tastes very similar to a herb from her Thai homeland that she hasn't been able to find in New Zealand!
