The only problem with harvesting lambs quarter is that it takes a day of foraging to get a bowl full after it cooks down.
I've got it growing everywhere along with poke weed.
We have poke growing in the fence rows. Often wondered why we eat it when cows won't touch it, but I've ate a metric ton of it over the years.
I have to fight the lambs quarter that comes up in the only garden we have left which is about a 30' row of asparagus.
The stuff I speak of is actually called many things but "book" name would be "Oxalis stricta"
