Sad, I know.<br /><br />Erin, it does seem to pop up anywhere, but it would be hard to get to "eating" size if it were in the yard (that is if you mow your lawn frequently, unlike us.)<br /><br />Akannie, I wish we had chickweed! <br /><br />SFG, We just had a huge mixed greens salad over the weekend and it included lambs quarters and we haven't died......yet! :)Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14436557172029575513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628662603932607754.post-45497726554603264172012-04-02T12:21:07.205-05:002012-04-02T12:21:07.205-05:00I didn't know that stuff was edable!

It was if the lambs quarter fairy blew up in that exact spot!<br /><br />Brittany, I hope I'm this lucky every year. Too bad it doesn't happen with, say, $50 bills instead of plants. Oh well.<br /><br />dr momi, kind of like saving amaranth seeds I suppose!

Maybe because my field garden and raised beds were fallow? I sure hope we have a lot of it this year again even though it will have to compete with the veggies and other planted stuff.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628662603932607754.post-16413307909862661752012-03-30T13:42:03.243-05:002012-03-30T13:42:03.243-05:00hhhmmmm.....saving lamb's quarter seeds.
