More lawn “plants”
August 22nd, 2004 by Alice Nelson · 1 Comment
Here are some additional plants in our lawns that are not lawns. Some I had forgotten and some I hadn’t identified. Wild chamomile (pineapple plant), lambs quarters or pig weed (can be cookied and eaten;tastes like spinach), chickweed, rose mallow, butter and eggs, and sand spurrey. There are probably more!

Around here lamb’s quarters and pigweed are two different plants, but I’d say we have most of the same plants in our lawn, although the pineapple weed grows in our gravel driveway, not the lawn. (Smells nice when you step out of the car.)
