I live in the NC mountains. Lamb Quarters are delicious cooked or in salads. Chick weed is good and very nutricious in salads, or by the mouthful while you’re in the garden, or on buttered (the real stuff) bread. Chick weed is green in the very early spring under the snow. I make a broth from burdock root. It has an earthy, artichoke flavor...very good

Are you a native?
It is so interesting to talk with my neighbor. She learned, and taught her eight children, how to be self reliant and sufficient. She commented to me just last wk that her grandchildren and great grandchildren live in a different world with computers, smart phones and the like. I can even see a difference in the mtns since we moved here in ‘88.
Thanks for your info. I’ll pass it on to my neighbor.

I have a book on Medicinal Plants and it said chickweed is used to curb obesity. I’m gonna use it tomorrow! LOL
