Judy · Answer

Lambsquarter looks a lot like another weed that is not edible. The way I tell the difference is that lambsquarter has a slightly gritty silvery frosting on the new leaves & on the under side of the adult leaves. It's very tasty if picked young, cleaned & steamed. Yumm-yumm.

I appreciate everyone's answers. I decided to pull it up because anything growing where it is not wanted is a weed.

Renee, I need your advice. The first time I got a cucumber plant to thrive, but the cukes are very bitter. Am I doing something wrong?
