   It is actually considered a tasty herb in our house. It can replace salt and lemon in light sautés and is a welcome addition in salads…
   Happy Gardening!

   This looks like what we grew up knowing as sour grass. LOL
   If you chew on it, it is sour.
   may not be the same, but looks like it. Do you know??

   Those love to grow in my yard, too! They have a tangy flavor.

   Hi, I have this charming, spreading plant growing wild in my yard here in Sedona, AZ. Unlike the many, I allow a number of low-growing plants to grow in my lawn for sort of a meadow effect. This Oxalis, like common clover, adds much-needed nitrogen to the soil, too.

   i think that is the same plant that does grow “like a weed” on this side of the mountains. When in full bloom the carpet of green & yellow is very pleasing. Can fill entire yards or even pastures if allowed.

   This teeny tiny oxalis is called Oxalis Grandis or Yellow Wood Sorrel. It looks like clover and could be mistaken for a weed. The little yellow flower is charming and cheerful.
