    In my country in Armenia we eat purslane but not amarath, but I knew some ate it. We had it grow in our backyard as weed and we pulled them out. When we had cows , they would eat them. I had heard it was edible, but wasn’t in tradition to cook them unlike some other weeds which had more specific taste.

    I guess I'm blessed too! Purslane, lambsquarter and wild amaranth are common in my garden, and they would happily take over if I didn't pull them as weeds. I eat lots of them too, but I'd become obese if I tried to eat them all! On a side note, the wild amaranth cross-pollinatees with domestic amaranth varieties, so I sometimes get interesting hybrids with "love lies bleeding" and golden giant amaranth. I grow them mostly as decorative plants, but they are edible as well, just like their wild cousin.

    My grandfather had hand-selected "weeds" he would underplant his garden with. Purslane was one of them. He liked it because it grows dense and low to the ground, which helps choke out other, less manageable weeds. Another of his favorite weeds was calendula, partly because it's beautiful, but also because it overwinters well and helps keep the garden from filling up with more troublesome weeds as the ground lies fallow. FYI, the petals of the calendula flower are edible and make a nice, colorful addition to salads, while the leaves can be ground into a paste and applied to mild burns, scrapes and bruises to help speed the healing of the skin.

    @@randybugger3006 I'm in agreement with your grandpa! Appropriately, I just finished eating a salad that was mostly Purslane. I Iove the stuff because it's good to eat, nutritious, and gives a salad a different appearance to plain lettuce. In the garden, I let purslane grow, and I simply plant my garden crops right into it. If the Purslane roots consume some of the soil nutrients and deprive my garden plants, they make up for it by shading the soil, conserving soil moisture in my dry climate. Today, the purslane in my salad came from a garden bed where I just planted carrots. I can't plant carrots under the purslane because carrot seeds need sunlight to germinate. But I also planted beans, corn and squash this week, and they all went right into the soil under a living "mulch" made up mostly of Purslane.

    Purslane is also known here in South Texas as Portulaca. Grows wild in the cracks of sidewalks, is sold in hanging baskets, etc. There are organic seed packets online for cheap, too. Flowers are edible, as well. Since it's a succulent, make sure it's in clean soils. It's kinda like a tastier version of nopalitos (cactus) & off the charts in Omegas.

    Thanks for the information! I'm fortunate to have most of these weeds in abundance in my Colorado garden. Several years, I allowed wild amaranth and lambsquarter to grow on my compost piles, thinking that the greenery would benefit the compost when I turn it in. A lot of the seeds made their way into the compost, though, when I didn't turn it soon enough. When I spread the compost on the garden, I spread the seeds too, naturally. Now I get volunteers growing all over my garden beds, but I don't mind. It's easy to recognize, and easy to pull when small. When it's not in my way, I let it grow and eat it, or use it to make "weed tea." I assume that whatever nutritional qualities it has, they improve when it grows in rich soil. I also have lots of wild purslane, and I use it in salads all season long. Now, I'm going to watch for Chickweed. I don't think it grows in my garden, though. I'll start eating the white clover, which is also common in my garden.

    Nightshade has a similar leaf shape when young, but. Amaranth has a pink stem and a white, almost shiny, underneath the leaf. Deadly nightshade has neither characteristic. To get rid of kidney stones, add vinegar to diet like salad dressing or lemonade with vinegar. Chickweed, I heard, has photo (plant) estrogen. I powder mine.

    I always assumed that the name "pigweed" came from the fact that it was traditionally used for hog fodder. Certainly, our pigs always loved it (along with plantain and clover). We kids used to gather it off the lawn in our little red wagon, and supplement their diet with greens. It made for very lean meat. Little did we know at the time that we could have had free salad to go along with it! 😁 I'm also a huge fan of lamb's quarters (known as goosefoot here in Ontario, because the leaves are the shape of webbed feet). The flavour reminds me more of green beans than spinach, but with a strong "protein" flavour, that reminds me of strong bone broth. I don't know why it tastes that way (more calcium than most plants, maybe?), but it makes it a garden favourite of mine!

Your pictures also show you have other wild vegetables that are also edible, such as 車前草。The first one you pulled out of ground has a rather edible root, is a good herb medicine. If you live in central Florida, come and I will show you more wonderful edible wild vegetables!
