Sudden infestation with this yellow flowered low-leaved tall ganglyplant
Anyone ever had an infestation of acres of these yellow plants?
http://www5.picturepush.com/photo/a/...g/13393168.jpg They seem to be taking over my otherwise barren dry hillsides: http://www1.picturepush.com/photo/a/...g/13393169.jpg The plant has a strange-looking stalk: http://www2.picturepush.com/photo/a/...g/13393210.jpg And very low-lying leaves: http://www4.picturepush.com/photo/a/...g/13393207.jpg The climate is San Francisco bay area, very dry, poor Franciscan sediment soil, and lots and lots and lots of sunlight. |

At first I thought it was kin to mustard, but then I got to searching and it kind of looks like this: Broom Snakeweed https://www.google.com/search?q=Broo...iw=920&bih=539 -- Natural Girl //(**)\\ |

I'm pretty sure that plant isn't poke salad. Have you ever eaten it cooked? My grandma used to cook it for us all the time and taught me how. You pull the leaves off the plant .. medium to smaller leaves are more tender, and then you boil them like you would spinach leaves 'til they are tender. After that you drain the boiled leaves and squeeze all the water out of the leaves you can get to come out of them. Next you add some oil to a frying pan, and break up the boiled leaves into the hot grease. Break 2 or 3 fresh eggs over the poke in the hot grease and stir fry the eggs with the poke. Add a bit of salt to taste while it's cooking. MMMMMMMmmm!! -- Natural Girl //(**)\\ |

I can only imagine that ancestors may have gathered poke salad, cooked and ate it. My grandfather grew greens in his garden. Tender leaves are the best. |

Wild mustard is found extensively in California This description seems apropos: http://www.pennilessparenting.com/20...aged-food.html Clearly there are yellow flowers atop a stem. I'll look in the morning to see if they're in groups of 4 petals. And, I'll look closer to see if they're not veined. I didn't see any broccoli-like florets; but the leaves did radiate in a rosette. Apparently I can cook and eat the leaves, and I can make a mustard spread out of the flower petals. According to this article, it was brought to the Americas in the 1700s: http://www.eattheweeds.com/cutting-t...ica-sinapis-2/ Apparently all parts of the plant are edible. This article points out that the hairs on the stem make it "wild mustard": http://en.heilkraeuter.net/herbs/wild-mustard.htm I'll look for 4 long stamens and 2 short stamens and 1 pistil on the flowers: http://www.omafra.gov.on.ca/english/...cts/03-043.htm |
