[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]This is why I'm interested in edible weeds. If "regular" crops failed or became prohibitively expensive for any reason, cultivating weeds for food would be an important backup.

I've read that golden purslane is the tastiest and that it's sweeter if harvested in the afternoon, so that's where I'm headed.

Thanks!
