Speaking of weeds, I noticed a very aggressive little weed popping up everywhere in my new garden beds. Since weeding them all would be an incredible amount of work, I researched it instead and discovered that it is edible! Commonly called Prostrate Pigweed, it is an Amaranth plant which can serve as a wild spinach in the Spring, and when full-grown, the nutritious amaranth seeds can be harvested and ground into flour. So I’m weeding the non-edibles but keeping this one—it’s a free salad coming up in my garden! I now see it as God’s gift to my garden, instead of an ugly nuisance.
