Short answer: dandelions

Almost everyone is already growing them! And trying to get rid of them! They make a great salad. However, the later in the season it gets, the more bitter and tough they taste but they are still edible. I believe all parts are edible (except perhaps the roots but that might be used for other things, such as a drink). Source of protein, calcium, iron, Vitamins A and C.

Also, plantain, another weed (not talking about the banana-ish thing here). Google the images so you'll know what you're looking for. It's likely you played with the stem as a child to shoot the seed heads of them off into the yard somewhere. The leaf is great in/as salad.

Also, wood sorrel, yet another weed. Heart shaped leaves in a 3-leaf clover pattern, tastes like lemons.

If you're a horrible gardener, consider buying a paperback guide to edible wild plants in your region. BUT do also try to grow other things that the other pedes on here mention because you want a variety of nutrition.

BEWARE: As these are "weeds" make sure you aren't pulling/eating weeds that have been sprayed with chemicals. Unless you LIKE having a penis grow out of your forehead.

Happy weed pulling!
