and ants are eating it now? it's been tasty, and so far I haven't died.

When it was really small it really looked like a narrow-leaf plantain, but now it's almost a foot tall. clearly isn't that. Also, it's now got lots and lots of ants happily eating it. I like that they're eating that one and not going for the tomatoes.

It has a thick middle stalk, and the leaves come out like fireworks-shape narrow and a little shrivel. It has a bunch of leaves up at the top, I think that's called a rosette when leaves do that. It has no flower. This is a common weed, I've seen it many times but only this year paying attention to it. It's New England. Growing in the sunny part of our garden.

I searched a bunch before posting this. Thanks folks.

PS it's pretty tasty. I thought, Wow, this tastes a hell of a lot better than regular plantain. it's nice and sweet and lettucy. (it's not wild lettuce though--it doesn't have any teeth on the leaves.)

Yes! Ok, it looks bigger than it is, it's about 12" tall at this point.

Please don't eat (sample) plants that you can't identify. Get a sure i.d. first.
