There was a post earlier today about controling milkweed.
Unfortunatly, I have some boardering land that is deamed organic, but neglected. It is a haven for all kinds of weeds and the last few years it has become an incubator for hard shelled snails. With the wet weather that has been here for near a week the snails are starting to be a real problem in our garden.
Getting back to my topic, I went out in the field and harvested some milkweed for supper tonight, second pic. It is just past peak now, but still lots of floweretts that haven't blossomed yet.
When cooked or steamed/same as brocoli or califlower, it has a tecture similar to small peas, and tasts similar to spinich.
Tomarrow we will go out and pick a big batch and freeze it for meals this winter.
It is a no cost plant for seed, takes no garden space, requires no weeding, and is filling and a ummey side dish to any meal. A big bang for the buck.
Try it, you might like it, we do!
