Interesting that the name "Lambs Quarters" was given to Pig Weed (by
Ewell Gibbons) to enhance its desirability as an edible weed.
Our new church has a parking area with several plantable islands that
recently had to be torn up and re-sodded. Pig Weed has grown in
abundance. I showed some how to harvest it. Also ate some my self to
show it is actually quite good. Now they are wondering how to make
money from it to pay off the mortgage :)
