YOUR QUESTION #0137300:

edible plants in my yard

I have been eating dandelion greens from my yard. From some internet research and walking thru my yard it appears that I also have plantain, fat hen, scurvy weed. Is there a way you can confirm this like if I brought some into the office or took pictures to send to you? Are there others? Are blackberry leaves edible? I lived in Panama for a year and they are so much more aware of what grows in their yards than us here in the US. I very much appreciate your help.
