I’ve been doing some painting today, but not the artistic kind. I’ve been painting lots of weeds in the back yard with poison, focussing on the mallow in the lawn and the grass runners popping up in the garden. There were also a couple of very tiny bindi plants I spotted, but I seem to have mostly gotten rid of them for now. I should do a bit in the front yard too, but I was overheating enough just doing that much so will put it off until another day.

You could just eat the mallow

I do not wish to eat the mallow. If I did I would put a mallow plant somewhere convenient and nurture it so it was actually good to eat, not have it hide through the lawn.

That’s wise. While not as bad as root veg heavy metals can still concentrate in leafy plants and there’s the consideration of if you use pesticides on the lawn

I heard it’s called cheeseweed because of the round seed pod but doesn’t taste like cheese.
Unfortunately I’m not able to test it out or even other foraging because my stomach is a little bitch
