>>1041600Both are potherbs. I literally had a bowl of "weeds" for breakfast this morning. I took a pic, but didn't even think about uploading it. So, this is for you.
I purposely spread their seeds around my garden. I can eat them when I weed them out and they will out compete most other weeds I can't eat. Thus, it is win-win for me in the long run.
This bowl includes,
Chickweed (Stellaria media)
Purslane (Portulaca oleracea)
Lambs Quarter (Chenopodium album)
American Burnweed (Erechtites hieracifolia)
Lady's Thumb (Persicaria maculosa)
Nasturtium (Tropaeolum sp.)
FYI, both purslane and chickweed have wee tiny flowers. Trying to work on them for breeding purposes may be more difficult than with plants that have larger flowers.
