warm weather

[bookwormom]

with this warm weather there are lots of clumps of frilly greens growing, they look like they are cress, but are very small leaved, have tiny white flowers. I have never seen them before but I figured they looked edible and have been harvesting them and putting them in the vita mix with other stuff to juice. Imparts a cress/radish taste which is not bad.

If the flowers are white and have 4 petals, they are PROBABLY/POSSIBLY Cruciferous (cabbage family) and if so are edible.
You do need to make a positive ID before you eat them or give them to your family. Have you looked for a photo? Please be careful. I did see chickweed growing by a rock wall today, and some little wild radish or mustard similar to what you describe.

too late Smokey, I have been eating them and they must be good for me. I still do not know them but now I know they are good. the flowers are little and without reading glasses I could not see how many petals they had. I will check. I have seen chickweed too, put it in the juicer too. I really do not care for chickweed in salad.

LOL, I don't eat Chickweed, you can mash it to a "pesto" and put it on skin irritations tho.
I think you're ok on the wild mustard, but do you take a hand lens with you when you're out and about looking for plants? If the leaves are in a Rosette, all stemming from one center spot, and each leaf has a rib with the leaves kinda scalloping all along the sides, with the larger rounded part at the tip, then that's either a radish or mustard relative, given the place and time of year and all.
