I had some come up around my scarlet runners last summer. I thought it actually looked really whimsical and pretty, so against everyone’s advice I left it. I had the LARGEST harvest of scarlet runners EVER. Trust nature, she knows what’s up. I didn’t know you could eat it or use it to make a salve?! How can anybody starve, nature provides so much food for us if you’re wise enough to know it.
I had someone tell me years ago.. whatever medicinal plants aka "weeds" you have abundance of in your yard... The Good Lord provided them specifically for your personalized health care. ❤
Shellbelis..Yes I believe that. I'm glad someone else sees that too. Mullein grew a few years ago in an area I don't notice very often . I didn't realize it was medicine only thought of it as a beautiful weed. A year later I developed asthma and wanted to treat naturally found out about mullein and said God you tried to tell me about that before I even knew I was going to need it. It's definitely been a blessing to me and I've learned so much about herbs and wild edibles and so excited to keep learning and consuming these wonderful gifts from God . Keep listening and learning😊❤
I’ve eaten chickweed in a salad, I live in England. It’s a common ‘weed’ here. Lots of people don’t know that it’s edible and as good for you as any other salad herb. Also poultry love it!
I have yet to find chickweed, and have come across two plants that others have called chickweed. Thank you for clearing confusion and sharing knowledge about this plant.
This is a cool weather or cold weather weed. Come summer hot time. It dies out or becomes dormant. The seeds it leaves is amazingly a lot. Good for live stock. I give it to my Chickens and Guineas. Eating it? Well perhaps.
I have that same plant everywhere here. I have a ton of strange weeds and don`t know what they are. I`ve been trying to learn. Pill bugs devour a lot of things I attempt to get started wild.
Can't remember the name, but it grew under the huge trees in my last backyard. My arborist told me it was a native, and wouldn't harm anything. Maybe send a photo to one of the plant identifying sites to get the name. I was glad to hear it is a good plant that belonged where it was. Also thought it was pretty!
My shoes are good at this if you walk through a chickweed patch after flowering, they are brown seeds. They can be collected and stored like most seeds.
