Eat dem Plants!

"Common chickweed is an edible plant which grows everywhere and is flowering the whole year. It stops when it is freezing and then it can disappear, but there are so many seeds around the plant that when it is good weather again it starts growing. In summer when it's hot and dry it will disappear too and start again in autumn. Birds like the weed and we can eat it too as salad. There is a certain medical use". Taken by Wolverlei
