Update on my longterm backyard soil remediation project & trying to replace lawn with alternative groundcover/edible & medicinal plants/wildflowers. This is part of the patch that I did cardboard/seaweed/leaf mulching on last year. It now has mixed #clovers & #DeadNettles & #chickweed. These will all attract more pollinators, when they flower too 🐝🦋

#chickweed, one of the most beautiful #plant on earth, rarely appreciated with its true value.
It's not always gold what shines.

It's #flowers have 5 v-shaped white petals, looks like 10, make little white stars.

One of the best wild #edible plant, extremely good in #salad
#medicinalplant too, with #saponins etc...

A lot of thoughts for people in Gaza, like @eslamradwan1_D_5 @Rania

If you’re not buying the #Chickweed #extract from a cosmetics supplier, make sure to get the “alcohol free” version. That’s the one made with #glycerin and doesn’t contain alcohol.

One of my #garden experiments this year was a small planting of #chickweed (Stellaria media).

It germinated well, has grown well, and likes to spread.

It doesn't really taste like much, but makes a decent potherb in soups and stirfries.

It's best tender, and tolerates aggressive haircuts. A 30cm square patch has been producing multiple handfuls per week.

I'm not sure I'm going to plant it again on purpose. It's a little too meh.

Chickweed Wintergreen

There’s a section in the woodland which is full of native species. I found these beautiful little #Chickweed #Wintergreen #flowers around the edges of the paths in that area.
