I occasionally eat the fruit off of hairy nightshade, but as a CYA measure that isn't something I'd suggest that anyone do. Here's a photo of bittercress, a mustard family weed that is very common around Seattle: http://tinyurl.com/eec9u Arthur Lee Jacobson's " Wild Plants of Seattle " is an excellent guide to what's good to eat around town.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 Thank you for the picture, Anthony. What kind of weed is that? I couldn't find the name of it.. but I think that I have seen it. As for the chicory, the South 47 farm had it all over the place. As for where I live, I just bought a little house in Index.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 I will go looking for it because I love free greens for my smoothies.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 I'm not sure if you'll find it this time of year, but you might. It likes to pop up in gardens and other cleared/tilled areas. > I will go looking for it because I love free greens for my smoothies. > > On 10/1/06, Anthony D'Atri <aad wrote: >> >> >> That's bittercress. >> >>> Thank you for the picture, Anthony.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 I declared a large portion of my backyard as " reclaimed Illinois prarie. " We get a wonderful variety of birds: cardinals, blackbirds, finches, etc. Of course, we get the neighborhood rodents: possoms, skunks (pretty, smelly, great mousers!), mice, raccoons, rabbits, etc. Talk is cheap.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 My backyard, former garden spot, now is in bloom with pretty light purple tiny aster type flowers...and to think I was going to have those " weeds " cut down earlier. The nearby brushpile houses a rabbit or two and probably a few field mice...hehe. As long as the critters stay outside, we will get along fine.
