Jackie if you could rank some of these based on the easiest to grow what would you pick?
Taz you can come to my yard for dandelion and stinging nettle. but I would not eat either. Dandelion is bitter to use and is generally used in salad. Nettle is usually used as a tea, and is so invasive, I hate it. Cut your hands up trying to pull it out. And if you just weed wack it, it proliferates. Moringa, I have never grown, but have purchased the powder. It is expensive, but healthy. Also bitter, you have to hide it in blended shakes. most of the ones above are not worth growing. And while they all have some vitamins or nutrition, I don't think they could compare to the Duck-Weed for nutrition and ease of growing.
The duckweed looks very interesting and I will try to grow it. Together with water spinach.
My understanding is that most, if not all of the above plants are easy to grow. Or they could already be growing in your backyard. For example, I have white clover, plantain weed (forgot to include this), chickweed and dandelion already growing wild in the yard. Possibly others on the list. No gardening skills needed there. Purslane will grow even in poor soil, just water it. Just place the water spinach seeds in shallow standing water and most should germinate. Then they grow fast. once established. The growing season for most of these will of course start in spring when the ground has warmed up. I've not tried the others.
