Gardening-Salad Plantain This undated photo shows Erba stella sharing bed with lettuce in a garden in New Paltz, New York.

The leaves grow in a low whorl just like those of plantain-the-weed, but are narrow and refreshingly crunchy; even the flower spikes retain that pleasant crunchiness. (AP Photo/Lee Reich)
