Field Pennycress

Seeds forming on a field pennycress plant at RSPB Ouse Fen. The shape of the seeds is where the penny part of the name comes from.

Põld-litterhein (Thlaspi arvense)

Saksa keeles Acker-Hellerkraut või Ackertäschel, inglise keeles field pennycress.

Üheaastane õistaim litterheina perekonnas ristõieliste sugukonnas, mis on osa kapsalaadsete seltsist.

Pärit Euroopast ja Aasiast, kuid ka levinud Põhja-Ameerikas, Aafrikas ja Austraalias. Kasvab tee ääres, põldudes ja aedades, aga eriti ka jäätmaadel.

Paljuneb ainult seemnetega, millest üks taim produtseerib 1000-2100. Seemne tärkab ka veel 10 aastat hiljem 5 cm sügavusel mullas, ja ka loomade seedekanalite läbimine ei mõjuta idanemistvõimet. Aitab lisaks temperatuuri kõikumine. Õitseb mais ja varasemal suvel. Kasvab 10 kuni 40 cm kõrguseni.

Kuigi on ise umbrohi, saab taimed kasutada integreeritud taimekaitses teiste umbrohtude vastu, takistades agressiivsemaid kevadisi umbrohte. Kasutakse ka külvikordades. Samuti saab seemneid kasutada loomasöödana, või nendest õli valmistada, mis küll süüa ei kõlba, mille potentsiaalset toimet diisliasendajaks sõidukites või lausa lennukikütuseks aga praegu uuritakse.

Lehti saab ka kasutada nagu oblikaid salatina, või keedetuna, et kibedust vähendada.

all this romanticizing of the gremlin lifestyle has done wonders for my self image

[hunnybonny]

Some people don’t realize that the weeds you pick from your gardens or the wild plants you find growing in the woods may be able to be eaten! In fact, quite a few of them have very similar nutrition values to that of popular “superfoods!” This is just a compilation of weeds that I’ve learned are edible in some form or another. It’s not meant to be a field guide, so if you’re unsure what some of these look like, please look them up. Unless you’re sure you’ve identified something correctly, avoid eating random plants. I hope this can help someone, somewhere. Keep growing, pals!

Spring has sprung, so have the noxious weeds

Spring has sprung, so have the noxious weeds

Rea Orthner Wrobel, Peak to Peak. I always love this time of year when plants start to spring out of the ground. I take great relish in observing the hairy purple pasque flower, dainty white field pennycress, purple larkspur, and the fuzzy caterpillar catkins on aspen trees.  Competing with all those natives, and especially in the Town of Nederland, you will also see the mounded glossy green…

I got field pennycress and Canadian choke cherry :>

Weed or Food? Field Pennycress - Thlaspi arvense

Many common weeds make great foraged edibles; purslane, chickweed, sorrel, and brambles (blackberries). But plants in the mustard family are universally edible and often provide a peppery bite. Pennycress is one such mustard member found in the backyard and they are a favorite of mine. While young, its leaves are like fresh arugula; great in salads for a little snap, or topping on pizzas. When older the leaves become tough and bitter and by then I’ve usually pulled them. I don’t favor them but they’re welcome nonetheless as they are some of the first early spring greens. They always manage to appear every year on their own where I don’t want them. A definition of a weed.

Spring Burndown Treatments for Winter Annual Weeds | Farms.com

“With the short timeframe for fieldwork this spring prior to planting, early weed management may fall to the bottom of the priority list for many.  For those who have persistent issues with winter annuals (field pennycress, horseweed/marestail) in no-till, an early burndown treatment may be worth the extra effort this spring.  Winter annuals resume growth soon after the arrival of warm…

Cover crops provide bed and breakfast layover for migrating birds

Cover crops provide bed and breakfast layover for migrating birds

After harvesting a corn or soybean crop, farmers may plant a cover crop for a variety of reasons — to reduce soil erosion and nutrient runoff, increase organic matter in the soil, and improve water quality. Now there’s another reason. University of Illinois research shows that migratory birds prefer to rest and refuel in fields with cover crops.

“Here in the Midwest, we’re in one of the major…

Field Pennycress (Thalspi vulgaris) Field pennycress is a weed found in most parts of the world. Its growing season is early spring to late winter. You can eat the seeds and leaves of field pennycress raw or boiled. The only caveat with field pennycress is not to eat it if it’s growing in contaminated soil. Pennycress is a hyperaccumulator of minerals, meaning it sucks up any and all minerals around it. General rule is don’t eat pennycress if it’s growing by the side of the road or is near a Superfund site.
