We just had a much needed thunderstorm here, more noise than rain, though. I thought it best to exit the computer for awhile.
Linda's right, here it's best to gather it in early to late spring for eating, once it blooms seeds start setting, it isn't as good and gets a little tough. Tastes a lot like spinach when cooked.
It's low growing, Lynn, though its stems can be long. It acts more as a ground cover than upright, but it does form a sort of thick mat. Chickens love it!
Woofie, I'm not sure what you have. You better be very sure before you start eating it!!
