Thank you! This video was extremely helpful. My 9year old was walking the dog and cane back with one of these. Lol he wanted me to plant it, he was very exited to bring it home, and so i been trying to do some research if it was a good idea to plant it or not. Lol for what i see, its not. 😕 i don't have a garden at the moment so I'm debating if to keep it or eliminate it... but either way this video was the most helpful one i watched. Thank u!
Glad it helped! You could probably plant it for the sake of your kid's curiosity. I doubt it will survive the transplant and if it does just deadhead it before is seeds ;) Or if you want to encourage him to explore gardening without growing weeds just buy him a pack of reliable and easy flower seeds like marigolds or food seeds like peas and beans. Those are things you can easily grow in a pot on your porch or balcony that can nurture and reward a kid's curiosity and interests. Good luck!
I am not sure about the edibility of this one. Personally, I wouldn't keep this around even if it was edible because it spreads and gets so out of hand so fast.
It is edible with a spicy taste and was used by many Native American tribes for its anti inflammatory properties. It is also highly beneficial for pollinators but it will take over if it's not controlled as it is highly weedy as well!
Oh boy that would be fun wouldn't it?! Thankfully no, I've never encountered Hogweed, and I don't know that I would be prepared for it if I did. I'm pretty sure it involves hazmat suits. As far as preventing it, I would suggest vigilant weeding, but that's probably not always possible, especially if you have acreage.
It is edible but has a spicy taste when raw and can cause upset stomach if eaten in excess. It was commonly used by many Native Americans including for it's medicinal and anti-inflammatory properties.

Is it edible?
I'm actually not sure on that. It smells like dirt/dust, so I doubt it would be appetizing...
