I didn't pay any attention to it while I was pulling up bushels of it, but will before I eat any!dariushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12905692094664443489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-603055518123606194.post-63394986758324113872011-06-21T05:37:13.411-04:002011-06-21T05:37:13.411-04:00We toss it in salads.. but our chicks and keets lo...We toss it in salads.. but our chicks and keets looove chickweed (we used to also feed it to our cockatiels who would eat so much of it they would stain their beaks green. We gave them to a girl a few years ago that adored them.. and they still get chickweed. They are in their mid 20's now!) <br /><br />I'm trying to get some seeds from our patch to grow more. Lovely stuff.. but if you introduce chickens or keets to it.. they will devour the patch unless you protect it. <br /><br />Clear sap is a big indicator. Some confuse spotted spurge with chickweed.. and spotted spurge is poisonous (milky sap).<br /><br />Wood sorrel is another favorite. :)Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17159095601570766616noreply@blogger.com
