Raw broccoli seems like a totally different vegetable when you grow it yourself. The little leaves are yummy, the little regrowths are sweet and the flowers are particularly delicious.
What zone do you live in - where do you live Miker? Purslane is great vegetable (weed). That will reseed and just keep growing and coming back year after year. Seems like all you need to do is make a bed with any kind of organic matter and some water and it pops up. Each area has it's own little weeds like that. Here we have something called henbit that I like. I love wood sorrel to get a lemon flavor. One of my great favorites now is yam leaves. You can harvest the yams in the winter or you can bring in a container with them in the ground. I've been loving the leaves and interestingly I learned that they have a very high magnesium content (which is what I figured out went wacky with the milk products for us). But the great thing is that it grows like gang busters in the summer when so many other leaves just don't. Lambs quarters I would like to get some seeds of and start growing in a bed here. That's a wild plant that seems to have a big range. Marigold flowers are real nice in flowers and the seed heads are very easy to pick off and save for re-seeding. Hmmmm - what else re-seeds? I'm finding that chives and the onion family are good for long-term enjoyment. Onions start off as scallions, then baby onions/green onions, then onions, then flowers with seeds. Chives just seem to live forever without care and you can chop them all the way down and they just bounce on back. Plant the mints just once and you have them forever spreading by roots. Oh - there must be thousands! I'm very much in discovery mode.
