You should have harvested the chickweed. :-)
"Chickweeds are Medicinal and edible, they are very nutritious, high in
vitamins and minerals, can be added to salads or cooked as a pot herb,
tasting somewhat like spinach. The major plant constituents in Chickweed
are Ascorbic-acid, Beta-carotene, Calcium, Coumarins, Genistein,
Gamma-linolenic-acid, Flavonoids, Hentriacontanol, Magnesium, Niacin,
Oleic-acid, Potassium, Riboflavin, Rutin, Selenium, Triterpenoid
saponins, Thiamin, and Zinc."
I have, and have eaten it both cooked and raw in salad. It is
better in the latter, but the operative word is "unexciting".
Where did you get that New Age mumbo-jumbo from?
