Thanks everyone!
I'm glad Dave answered Jean's question. I feel like I hi-jacked the post and I didn't mean to do that.

Ann, that link gave me the same ones I'd pulled up, but this time with the photos. Don't know what I did on the previous search to keep the photos from showing.

Is Stellaria media the only one edible? I can see it's the one that Dave is eating, but when I used the link that Lynn provided on Field chickweed (Cerastium arvense), it brought up the article written by Sharon which I'd just finished reading and I thought was referring to Dave's plant, Stellaria media. It's not clear they are all edible plants, at least not to me Confused Blinking . I went looking and didn't find any growing. Maybe I'll recognize one if it blooms. I'm guessing it grows at the same time as fillaree and clover and they both are growing now. I'd always heard chickweed was a lawn nuisance like dandelions, but if it's a cool season plant it shouldn't be much of one. At least not in Texas. Which is why I was pointed to another plant entirely. And the trouble with common names.
