Plantain.
Highly prolific, in most parts of the world, it's a weed.

A weed that has nutritional qualities almost as good as spinach, the young leaves go very well into salads, the older ones work in soups or stews.

I have eaten it often. Far more palatable than dandelion. I harvested a ton of seeds last year.

Added bonus: Still does very well in depleted soils, even if fairly dry

And it does not grow here, I tried to do so.

Those seed spikes, makes it a good plant to plant in other ‘areas’.

I'm looking for everyone's opinion and thoughts about this:

http://www.survivalseedbank.com/?gclid=CK3h-uOKuJkCFRxNagodICRE6A

New Survival Seed Bank Lets You Plant A Full Acre Crisis Garden!

New “Survival Seed Bank” Produces Thousands Of Pounds Of Nutrient-Dense Food For Pennies Per Pound… Enough To Feed Friends And Family Forever!

New “Survival Seed Bank” Produces Thousands Of Pounds Of Nutrient-Dense Food For Pennies Per Pound… Enough To Feed Friends And Family Forever!

Now you can grow all the survival food you will ever need anywhere in the country with a kit that contains a special seed bank of hard to find, open pollinated… super seeds, grown by small, fiercely independent farmers.

P.S. One last thought — I want to make SURE you understand how much you’re getting here. If you purchased these same seeds “retail” you could very well pay over $500.00. That makes the Survival Seed Bank package a ridiculous bargain. For just $129.00 plus 14.00 shipping and handling (total $143.00), you get enough seeds to plant a full acre survival garden! And… you’ll have confidence knowing that you and your family will be able to eat if the Insiders trigger some huge meltdown. You’ll have the best germinating seeds available. Don’t wait another second — call or order online right now, while you’re thinking about it.

P.P.S. Remember… when these Survival Seed Banks are gone, with the current seed shortage, we can’t guarantee enough heirloom seeds will be available to meet the current high demand.

Thoughts? Comments?
