Chickweed

Chickweed is an edible groundcover type of herb that tastes like spinach and grows profusely at my parents' house in spring... having it on the back porch would be like a taste of home. It is a mild diuretic and appetite suppressant, and would probably look awesome in a hanging basket.

I started this one indoors at first due to impatience while I was lacking potting soil, but they sprouted very quickly and look spindly and weak. Next time I'd plant them directly to soil outside.

Will plant more when I get more soil!
