Duane, I was wondering what the plants are coming up all over my raised beds. You just ID it for me. Thank you.
I further researched it and found that it is one of the edible wild herbs, and has a mild radish flavor. Suppose to be very good in salads.

Going out to try one.

Lynn---this plant is an invasive weed. I hate it. Can't get rid of it, even when I pull them out by hand.

I didn't get a chance to go out and harvest some, to taste. I know what you mean about being invasive, they are everywhere. All of mine are tiny right now. I've been weeding them out of the semp beds.

I know we sure don't want to let them go to seed.

Lynn - Once you got 'em, you got 'em for life it seems like. I can't get rid of them here either. and I hate radishes, so I'm not gonna try nommin' them.

I love radishes, so I will give them a try as a food source.

Just wanted to let all of you know, I finally ate some of the wild bittercress. It is delicious. I have started grazing on them when i am working in the garden.

There you go Lynn, if you can't beat'em then eat'em. Our climate here has them growing all winter then exploding in spring. Guess I may need to go out and do a test taste.

They are very tiny right now Connie. As soon as I find some with a little size I will be eating them.
Now if I could just figure out for sure which weed is chickweed I'll be set. Yummy salads.

Well with inflation so high now it is time to start eating the weeds anyway. Items that I normally considered needs have been converted to wants .

I agree Connie. So far the Bittercress has not germinated. I will be eating it as soon as it arrives. Yumm

Cardamine hirsute gets huge here in VA by mid spring. We get a few similar species of cardamin so I haven't felt compelled to eat any yet 😂

Alex, you don't know what you are missing. Of course, don't eat it if you spray your yard.
Eat them when young, before going to seed.
