6- chickweed, growing low and thick in damp spots. eat it raw or wilt it like spinach.
7- henbit and purple dead-nettle, two of the first flowers. both edible, mild and green.
8- dandelion greens, before the flowers open. bitter and good for you.
9- wild onions and ramps, if you know where they grow. take only what you need.
10- cleavers, the sticky sprawling weed. steep fresh as a spring tonic tea.
11- violets, leaves and flowers both. the flowers candy well with sugar.
