Chenopodium album. An annual weed of waste ground, which can be used
(and tastes) almost exactly like spinach. The seeds are edible, too,
and are like Amaranthus.

Oh ...

Thanks ....

still in the dark :-)

It's also known as Fat Hen so p'raps your chickens eat it all before you
get to see any.

Ah! I know Fat hen, thanks :-)

No, it doesn't grow in our garden, hasn't done for years. Nor do daisies or
colstfoot, to my sorrow. they all used to, but stopped well before we had
the hens.

Strangely, they grow in neighbouring gardens ...
