The Deep Roots School of Foraging & Herbal Medicine

Cleavers are easy to spot once you know what to feel for. ; )
They cling to clothes, hair, and dog fur with tiny hooks. They have square stems and whorled leaves, and they’re also called bedstraw because the plant was traditionally gathered and used in bedding because it sticks together well and forms mats that don't move around.
Recent research has also looked at cleavers tincture in wound-care contexts, including skin cell migration in some human cell studies.

Blackberries, dewberries, and raspberries are yummy but they also support digestion with fiber, while the leaves and roots have a long history of use as astringents which we use for gut irritation and inflammation and the poops.

Y'all, here's one of the easiest wild edibles, Tradescantia virginiana or Virginia Spiderwort. Those purple, three-petal flowers, the buds, and the young leaves are all edible. And one of the best parts is that there are no lookalikes!
- Flowers- slightly sweet, toss 'em on a salad
- Flower buds- gather a whole bunch and sauté like rapini they are real tasty
- Young, tender leaves are great raw on a salad or sautéed
- The shoots are great sauteed

Once the leaves are a little older they will be fibrous and they aren't going to be as tasty.

I found my friend cleavers!
This sticky spring plant makes a beautiful sun tea with a mild cucumber-vanilla flavor, especially when gathered at the right time of year. Cleavers is also a gentle spring lymphatic, traditionally used to help get fluids moving after winter stagnation.
Look around your yard, see if cleavers is visiting, and try a simple sun tea.
