Theo, do not just post a pic of the plant with out giving us details of it. Tell us if its edible, poisonous, medicinal etc. Where it grows etc.

You get a 10 second ban for not following instructions

That's it :thumbup:. The wood also makes a good spindle because it tends to grow straight. But you have to use it in conjunction with a softer board.

Considered to be an invasive weed, this annual plant is a monocot with alternative lanceolate leaves that are 2 to 4 inches long. Grows from 6 - 12 inches tall on average. The young leaves and flowers are very tasty.
