Please help. Thanks to all that helped identify my last posting, Poke. Thanks so much.

Please go to the link below and see if you have any idea what this plant is.

Thanks,

Me? I don't let them reside in my yard or gardens. T-bird meant to get rid of the seeds before they start to spread from one end of your yard to the other. (At least that's what I think was meant!)

Maybe someone will jump in to tell us about the edible and medicinal properties.

But that said, I happily share my lawn and on occasion garden with plantain. I call it "nature's bandaid." It is good on insect bites, scrapes, and "boo-boo's" in general. Mash it up and apply - some like to chew it and apply. I also make a plantain salve that is great for chapped or irritated skin.

By the way, the plant you have Plantago major or Broadleaf Plantain.
