Wild Spinach
One such weed is the lamb’s quarter or wild spinach. I first learned of this beauty from farmer and forager extraordinaire Elizabeth Almeida at Fat Moon. Nutrient rich and a perfect stand-in for traditional spinach, it is a welcome visitor in my garden come weeding time. One thousand and one thank-yous, Elizabeth!
