Other Weeds? I miss having the pigweed and lambs quarters showing up, as they cheerfully did in other gardens over the years. Miss them but not quite enough to grow them intentionally here at home.
What did you do with pigweed and lambs quarters?

I want to try lamb quarters, but haven't found any out in the wild. I heard it tastes like mild spinach.
I had chickweed volunteering and thriving in one of my past gardens. What a lovely plant and vegetable! It is an excellent substitute for sprouts or lettuce on sandwiches, tacos, or burgers! I wouldn't bother trying to grow it, but since it's there just begging to be eaten - I eat it!

Don't mean to speak out of turn, but I'm guessing @digitS' cooks them as greens. In a previous garden (where they both hitchhiked in barnyard manure) those "weeds" were the first greens I harvested. Very tasty, although the texture of the lambs quarter takes a little getting used to. Highly nutritious, and you can harvest them several times if you keep cutting the plants back.
