Supposedly it very nutritious. Our garden was carpeted all winter no grass just chickweed.

Seems like something I have every year here in the moist areas, shaded or sunny and then dies back when it gets hot and dry. I’ll have to check for sure as there are look-a-likes.

Good info here on identification. https://homesteadandchill.com/chickweed-identify-harvest-dry-use/#h-chickweed-identification-and-characteristics

aaannnd .. it’s raining again. Cooled things off nicely though. It was 90 when I left work and 74 when I got to the house. Did some shopping while in town so it was one hour to home with 16 degree drop.
