bittercress
Garden weed, edible
Bittercress is any of several small plants in the mustard family, with white flowers and a peppery taste.
The leaves are edible and appear early in spring, making them popular in salads and foraging.
Gardeners often consider bittercress a weed because it spreads aggressively and ejects seeds when touched.
