Yes, but I don’t want it in my cultivated beds, and I don’t like the way it looks in the yard. Plus it is invasive.

I am not sure exactly where it came from, but all of a sudden it’s all over the place. ARRRGH. Now dandelions I don’t mind. Love the little flowers and yellow is my favorite color.

Did I mention that I really don’t like greens? It has taken me years to be able to eat lettuce, spinach, and romaine. I think I am doing pretty good to be adding Amaranth as the next leaves to try.LOL

ROFL! Understood about it being in planned beds...and your valiant battle to cultivate a taste for greens! You ARE doing pretty good to put amaranth on your list of greens. And now it is on mine too, because I wasn’t thinking to try for the greens, just the seeds!

Just wanted to see if you knew about henbit’s edible status. I had not known it until fairly recently. Actually I knew that “henbit” was edible, but did not know which plant it was. When I finally found out a few weeks ago, I was really excited, because it’s all over the place here! It can also be gathered and used dry, I think.

Just a little piece of info to tuck away for another thread and another day!
