Jewels of Opar!

I had tossed out a bunch of seeds a while back, and when something came up in my garden, I thought it was Papalo. But as it has grown, turns out it's Jewels of Opar. I didn't realize you can eat the leaves, but they are good! Very tasty for sandwiches and salads. A pretty plant, too.

This link is to a place selling seeds, but I'm posting it because it has wonderfully detailed information about this plant, including its edible and medicinal uses. Lucky me, I'm in Zone 8!

ooh, very cool! I recently found some growing in a planter, had never heard of it before and did some research. The tiny little flowers are really pretty.

It has become one of my favorite "weeds" nowadays.
Apparently, my great grandmother planted it when they built their house back in the 50's, which is where my parents live now; and it still pops up in the various flower beds each spring. After learning about it's use as a potential source of summer greens, I've been collecting the berries and broadcasting them in the forest garden in hopes of getting a patch established.
(The only reason I previously considered it a weed is because it has a tendency to come up in the potted plants we sell at market).
