Hairy Bittercress (Cardamine hirsuta) is out and flowering. Apparently, it adds a peppery flavor (like Arugula) to salad, and can make a good pesto, which I'll try before wiping it out from the fields. When it goes to seed and you walk through it, the seeds explode and fly everywhere. #seeddispersal #ballisticseeddispersal #ballochory #hairybittercress #cardaminehirsuta #eatyourweeds (at Newtown Square, Pennsylvania)
