Forgaging and Feasting has some of the coolest posts, like this one: 
GILL-OVER-THE-GROUND (Glechoma hederacea) you can eat the lovely little blue flowers and the leaves are also edible, and can be minced into dishes for an aromatic accent reminiscent of musky-oregano-mint, but really a flavor all its own. This aromatic, wild, prolific perennial of the Lamiaceae family, (often hated for its invasiveness), is a diuretic, digestive and is also used for chelating heavy metals (lead) out of the body; pretty powerful actions for such a common plant.
