I think bearberry is another name for it!
I want to try the berries, but I only see them in questionable places. Like parks or lining somebody's yard. Could be dog doo doo or pesticide. I am curious what the berries taste like! Does anyone know? I need to grow my own and find out!

Here's another one. This is a house plant I do believe! What kind is it?

It looks like a money tree, guyana chestnut (pachira aquatica)

I don't know what that last plant was. I saw it on my walk the other day.
I have a new plant challenge! This one is a tender, delicate veggie!

Looks like chickweed to me.

You are correct! They are great on hamburgers and sandwiches especially when they are young and tender!

I guess I really should consider eating it instead of treating it like a weed.
So, the young shoots taste better than the larger, and blooming pieces right? What about water? Can it turn bitter if it's not getting enough water?

I just pick it after I can see the tini flowers starting to form. Then you can easily identify the plant. So good! We live in the Pacific Northwest so watering that early in the year when chickweed first comes up isn't even necessary! Later when it gets really warm I do water it.
