Oh sounds great but I don't know where any vines are. I ight go on a walk. I am guessing you are a little ahead of us. I am zone 5.
I picked a a bloom of queen annes lace and I am sure I have the right thing. Hairy stem, purple dot flower in center. I just picked the flower but didn't smell carrot, does that smell come from the root?
Edible weeds - your favorites?
Yes, the root but the leaves usually smell like that as well. But I'm in zone 7a so that might make a difference.

Aegopodium podagraria is a real invasive monster, but I love to put some in my salad - It's a bit like parsley, but not as intense in taste, so you can put in more.
Not Invasive, but really tasty: Dahlia petals! As a bonus: you'll never forget the faces of your guests when serving a bowl of bright pink salad ;-)
Sounds very good. Yes, you don't usually get bright pink in your salads.
mmmm. Can't wait for summer to try it!
I noticed VV said he just pulled a "mess" of it. That's definitely a term we use around here in TN and KY.
AND - if it was on my schedule of "to - do's", then I'd observe:
"I'm fixin' to pull a mess of it."
Yes, indeed. Although people usually think of a "mess" as a negative, the word can definitely connote something positive. :)
I had a nice fresh mess of greens and turnips yesterday. As well as a pot of peas with some coins thrown in to bring money in the New Year.
Love greens, love turnips, love coins. :)

Is this a wildflower or an invasive weed?
