edible

This is the only stuff in my yard that I eat. I used to have a vegetable garden, but one of the neighbors' trees grew up and shaded it too much. (A trashy Siberian elm, too, not a nice tree. Sigh.)

I've never picked enough lambs' quarters to cook it. I just pick the ends of the stems, with a few big-ish leaves as well as the tiny ones, and eat them when I'm out with the dogs. They taste ... green. Not good, not bad. I assume they have lovely vitamins and things, which is why I eat them, rather than because they are yummy.
