    Anyone got a goat I can rent? These yard Triffids are getting out of hand.

      Do you have any vegetarian neighbours? Cost of Living pressures might mean they’d be interested in taking the problem off your hands so to speak.

        Hilarious mental image. No, lots of it is lemon grass and sorrel (don’t let this shit self seed people!!!) but also some beladonna and other very untasty things from the wind.

          Sorrel is edible, and very nice to eat. Look up French sorrel soup - its an unfashionable and ugly gem of a soup. The tangy lemony taste is unique imo. Marvellous with crusty bread. Otherwise, just pretend it’s spinach and cook/eat accordingly but with lots of cream and/or melty cheese.

            Yeah I know. It’s a common feature in my ‘weed’ pie. There’s only so much I can eat., and this is one that gets ignored if I it put out the free food box

            I used to eat oxalis as a kid. For some reason I thought it was the sorrel mentioned in the Hobbit.

            …ok it is a sorrel. I wonder how I knew that
