Did some foraging in the front yard again today. Got more prickly lettuce, wild mustard, and trimmed the salsify plants. One came up by it's tap root! Kind of early yet for that to happen, but it did. I brought out the snippers after that so as to leave the other roots in the ground till fall.

I had been eyeing a tall stand of prickly lettuce by the neighbour's corner, but some of it died before I could get to it. I cut down the remainder in that corner and harvested more on my side of the property line. As they have yard waste bags ready to go for this coming neighborhood pickup, and those stands were still there, I assume they thought I'd get to them sooner. Oops.

Didn't see much pineapple weed today, but napweed is growing again. I guess it took a couple years off. That plant is a ground cover that has a wide ranging nutritional/medicinal profile, and animals will eat it for pain relief.
