But the real thrill came when Stark would grab plants that I had never even
heard of before: pineapple weed, chickweed, mugwort, purple - flowered erodium (also called stork's bill), vetch (from the wild
pea family), mallow (a plant that, according to Stark, is high in calcium), and the highlight of the day: wild onions, purple - flowered and pleasantly
sweeter than your normal green onion.
