It gets tiring around here of people always looking dumbfounded when we talk about it. Not that we ever cared, lol. But yes, we have the it everywhere. It seems to like the shade best. That and my raised rows. My 5 yo just gave me some huge sloppy sugars when I told him we could have chickweed tonight. The boys like it best as sort of a spinach type dish. Just add coconut oil, salt, and pepper and they say it tastes the same, I agree. They enjoy munching on it and lounging in the shade on warm to mild days. The 5 yo says it's his "enenergy food". So cute. BTW, I've really been enjoying the site! Thanks for taking the time putting all this info together!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12589811535889201265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027191706980748713.post-86523330992539065362015-04-03T10:58:06.096+10:002015-04-03T10:58:06.096+10:00I feed chickweed to my chickens all the time.

It replaces the grass that cannot grow in the shade of trees in winter. I love to just pick and eat it when I'm walking in the garden, along with the purslane. I also feed both to my guinea-pigs. The chickens will get some because the grass isn't growing by then, and they'll take what green they can get.Chris https://www.blogger.com/profile/13715819899708384147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027191706980748713.post-22601183178047485842015-03-23T07:50:51.312+10:002015-03-23T07:50:51.312+10:00We used to use the 'milk' that came out of...We used to use the 'milk' that came out of the stalks for warts (as kids) - it worked great poggeauxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00754636457782658089noreply@blogger.com
