They tell me this is edible

If you don't know, don't take the chance. My grandfather poisoned both himself and his daughter after eating a mushroom that looked good to them.

When my sister was in elementary school I helped her to collect edible plants. It was interesting to find so many plants that grew wild that could be eaten. Of course as the years have passed, so has my memory of what these plants were.

It's an edible weed..... How would you eat it? Just bite into it? Or does it work like an herb or spice? I am sure a lot of plants are probably edible but that doesn't necessarily mean we want to eat it all.. Ha ha

I've been busy pulling up that very weed today, but I don't know what it's called. And no, I wouldn't eat it.

hovering over the pic i think this is henbit never heard of it but from what I looked up it is edible. " Henbit can be consumed fresh or cooked as an edible herb, and it can be used in teas"

Not really knowing what it is, I would not want to try it. It looks familiar, but I am not sure what it is. Is it ajuga?

I haven't seen this plant before. But since you said it was edible, then it was edible. It just depends on whether it is delicious or not. If it tastes nice, I'd like to have a try. Otherwise I will leave it alone

I cannot figure out what that plant is. My mom coo ked lambs quarter and dandelion greens for us as I was growing u p and wild mushrooms she knew which ones were safe which were poisonous too

It looks good anyhow. I've never tried it. I don't know if I've ever seen it around here. Must be your "sister of the soil" didn't feed all the good incredible edible weeds to her husband's.

We have it all over our yard in the summer and it makes me sneeze. I sure wouldn't eat it!

If our stores lacked good wholesome foods, then I'd consider trying more things we have growing around us, but with me working two jobs that would take time to find appropriate edibles and cut them at the right time to then save for eating. If someone served it to me, I would gladly try some, but I probably won't go out of my way on my own to check it out.

I don't know about that.

I never seen that weeds in our place. So I have no idea about it,

I don't know this weed but I guess if she eats it it has to be safe. :)

I am not going to try and eat any plant. I am funny that way.

Yes, this is called Henbit, it is of the mint family, it is edible and it goes in salads and soups. It does not smell like mint.

what in the world is it.

lol that's funny and that edible weed looks so hairy.

I was always fascinated by edible weeds. My grams always talks about pote salad but I don't trust it. Nope can't say I'll knowingly give it try.

Does it have a name?
