hesperis matronalis

I found another one I've seen and can eat! hesperis matronalis but this purple flowering weed silene armeria can be poisonous. So be careful.

Tragopogon dubius


Use this link to read more about it.


You can eat this weed too but I haven't tried it yet. I'll have to report when I run into one. I'm thinking it will taste much like a dandelion.... we'll see.
Here's another link as well although all it says is its not known to be toxic.

Sisymbrium irio – London Rocket




Yeah!!!!

I've been wondering for quite some time if I could eat this and I happily stumbled upon its Latin name today Sisymbrium irio – London Rocket! So here are some links I found with info.

I'm not finding a whole lot of info on how much of this weed you can eat so for now I'm just going to eat a little bit of it on occasion just for fun. No green smoothies or anything = ).
