. Or just the slightest bit cooked. It has a bit of a goo factor. Search verdolagas and purslane (and your Mexican and Turkish cookbooks) for more – there was quite a bit of chat around this healthy weed last summer...

, and still do. The happy sunny yellow heads just say summer to me. Wouldn’t spray them with weed killer for anything. Ok, so that being said, i don’t spray anything in my back yard, but maybe my neighbours...

Last week as I was cycling into the city I saw three women in the grassy areas around the on-ramps to the Jacques Cartier Bridge picking leafy things out of the ground and putting them in baskets. They were not civic employees...

Bought some purslane at a farmers market Sunday. Never tried it before and asked a woman buying some how to prepare, she suggested sauted with garlic and tomatoes, it was interesting.. googled and found out that , it is a common...

, the honey will be purer. Prairie producers have abundant crops of clover, fewer weeds, and an intense but short summer season. I would encourage anyone to try local Ontario honey, but for the real thing, the P.C. Peace River...

of white dutch clover on lawns or parks near you? If this is a trend, we will see a good crop of honey in the markets this summer.

tell me if someone is selling wildflower seeds there? People from Oak Park used to sell them up in Skokie, but I haven’t seen them this summer. I need to perk up the weeds in my yard...how late are people still selling in...

I’m not positive about this, but it might be seasonal here. At least, I haven’t seen any in the chinese markets recently. Given that my Siem Reap tour guide said that it was practically a weed in Cambodia, I’m...

We are taking a road trip from SF to Shasta and Lassen counties, maybe going as far north as Weed in Siskiyou county. Is there anything to eat up there? I think we can find places along the way in Redding, Chico, etc., but what...

You know, that nasty weed that grows everywhere? Well I heard it was edible, so I took a hunk of it and popped it in my mouth and surprise! It was kinda good. Like an arugalish lemony okra. Upon further research, I also see that...

I second Larriland. Last summer I picked the best plums I had ever had. The blackberries were excellent as well.

I hate it when people say “make your own”, when asked about where to eat a specific dish,...but this time of year it is so easy to buy the Thai Basil plant, and it grows like a weed. I always have a huge pot outside,...

. Now I do, and am looking for something that won’t bolt in the Virginia summer the way regular coriander does. I figure if it grows in Vietnam it must be okay here (Thai Basil grows like a weed here). Does anyone have an...

Again, not a year-round source, but Henry’s at the Evanston Farmer’s Market on Saturdays sells it throughout the summer.

I too buy an epazote plant yearly to put in my summer garden. It really does look like a weed and it grows like one too!
