there are so many different plants weeds mushrooms here in florida in an abundance sometimes and I never know whats what. I think you should take a field trip to south florida like uhm ... miami, palm beach, or port st. lucie and do something on things here. I amsure that you will find something that will interest you.

@niamh2739 I hold classes there regularly. The schedule is on my website. In fact I have a class in West Palm Beach this Sunday, July 17th.

do you know if corn speedwell is edible? i have a ton of it around my house

[EatTheWeeds]

@Lester284L I have no references to Veronica arvensis, thus I would assume no until proven otherwise.

Really enjoyed this video... you covered everything so thoroughly. I live in the desert, so I don't know if I will encounter a pennywort, but it looks familiar.

Thanks for writing... look for spigots and irrigation systems.

@OmegaSeekerr Never mind I just found the pig weed one.

Thank you! I am going to quit pulling them up & start watering them! Do you have one here about Amaranth? What Peanut fFarmers up here call Pigweed and spray against! It grows wild in my big yard. I already know what a blessing that really is and never pull it up except to eat it no matter where it decides to grow, but I can use pointers.. We should be growing IT instead of the peanuts!

First one reminds me of miner's lettuce.
