Chickweed. Fliodh. Germinating right now in the cool of the nights — a low mat under the shrubs, tiny white star flowers, and one line of fine hair running down the stem. That hair is how you know it's the real thing and not a look-alike. Learn it once and you'll never mistake it.

Eat it raw. It tastes like sweet corn silk and cold water.

Cooling and mucilaginous, which is old plain language for it coats an irritated gut — and after a summer of heat and stress-eating, most Southern guts qualify.

What are you finding coming up in your yard this week?
