Clover, this is a high protein source of food, but is only used in survival situations. It also hosts nitrogen fixing bacteria in its roots

Cocklebur. Used in Chinese medicine and also in yellow dye.

Dandelion. attracts bees and in the ealy season, leaves and flowers are edible

Ground Ivy is high in Vitamin C and can be used in herb tea

Nettle is one of the most useful plants in herb medicine.

Vetch, useful to plant between tomatoes, or other plants that require nitrogen
