Now, we eat them as well, although our season for tender stalks is almost gone by . . <br /><br />http://the3foragers.blogspot.com/The 3 Foragershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10095365543705594358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-71130789506240337302011-04-26T22:53:53.960-04:002011-04-26T22:53:53.960-04:00Wow what a fantastic menu!

A friend of mine had it in their garden and ended up pulling the roots out by tractor, they go incredibly deep.

After lots of digging it out and strategic use of glyphosphate, it still comes back every spring in tiny spots here and there. I have that same feeling of "Really? Again?" when I see its little shoots. It's like a horror movie. I've realized that I may never truly eliminate it from the garden but have learned to "manage" it, like arthritis or something. I don't think I could eat it after so much ill will towards it.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00727440593554530778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-70303645539376896662011-04-25T17:05:43.917-04:002011-04-25T17:05:43.917-04:00Good heavens.
