Now i can eat lunch during weeding, excellent! 😉 Thank you. I really love the foraging videos. I already have a lot of those flowering nettle type things, i collect them for my wild forest edge. Pink, purple, magenta, white, yellow. Even that one you have there has a place. So pretty, some with stripey leaves. Every time i see a new one i don't have, i ask a cutting or take one home. I had no idea i now have an extra vegetable bed, haha! (i will check if it's edible, don't worry) People keep telling me i still need to sort out that 'weedy bit over there'. grumble. Some people will never see the beauty of well placed native plants.
Thank you for the explanation. I learned Dead Nettle last week as it is ALL over Pennsylvania gardens. I just planted Johnny's spring mix which has Field Peas. I will try to identify Chickweed today:)
