So I ran out to our field to pick some weeds. I found a lot of these towards the back. I thought today I would put on my big boy pants, and try to identify this before I ask you guys. I found pictures on the web that are very similar, is this chicory? I also read if it is, it is safe to feed.20180706_074937.jpeg20180706_075013.jpeg

While the chicory relatives we are used to (dandelion, sow thistle) often have yellow leaves, the flower petals look the same. They all have that squared off shape at te end. The leaves look similar, too, with the arrowhead shapes.

The more you know, lol. :)

I like going out looking for weeds, I find this far more adventurous then going down my local supermarket aisle to get my dog his dog food.[emoji3]
