Food DOES grow like weeds. Ever hear of Quinwa (pronounced keen-wa). It is a current fad among the "healthy eaters" bunch. Quinwa is nothing more than the seeds from the common pig-weed.
 
Hello Guido...here's a story...when my wife and I were married in 1980,we rented a little house that sat on 5 acres.Her grandfather and grandmother,,both of Italian decent,,came to visit us.While walking around her grandfather spotted some young murdock?plants,To me its a weed,it grows burr like stickers on it when it gets older. He cut the stems of the young plants.He called the dock? My wife's grandma dipped them in egg,breaded and fried them.They were delicious.
 
Hello Guido,,not related to your post,,,a story when I first met gram,,my wifes grandmother.My future wife and I went to visit gram and grandpa .We dropped in unexpectedly.Gram had a big pot what she called gravy(I knew it as tomato sauce).In it,she had cooked pork neckbones. She was so mad at my wife,,she said,,if I only knew you were coming,I would have cooked something decent instead of cheap neckbones.Let me tell you Guido,,that gravy?And Pork neck bones,,along with italian bread from the Newark NJ area,,was the best meal I ever ate !!!!She knew how long to cook the bones,so when you ate them the meat slid right off.My wife tried to make it for me,,never can get it quite the same.If you cook it too long the meat falls off and real pointy bones are left in the Gravy,Haven't had them the same,,and maybe never will,gram is no longer with us,,only in memory.
 
I always said that about my garden; if crops grew like weeds I could feed half the county.
 
The plant known as pigweed to most folks up north was always called careless weed by my grandparents and everybody else I knew when I was growing up. It was one
particular reason I and my siblings spent long hot days walking up and down long rows of cotton with an "idiot stick" in our hands.

I think that the technical name for it is "palmer amaranth". It is becoming very difficult to control around here. It has become immune to glyphosate which I learned when I tried to get rid of it in my graveled driveway. However, 2,4d Amine will still kill it.
 
A lot of weeds farmers try to kill in hay fields have more food value than the grass they cut for hay.Spend a lot of money on sprays to get a lower value crop.
 
My wife gets that sometimes. I was looking at those
seeds a I thought that's pig weed seed... but
nobody listened to me.

We've been fighting purslane for quite a few years now. 2,4d will kill it, but if it is growing in the same place as tomatos, green beans, etc., the only to control it is by digging it out and burning it.
