When I was a kid we called this plant "sticky darts." That's because we figured out you can pluck the immature seed heads with the stem, and then discreetly toss them at peoples' backs. The challenge was to see how many darts you could stick before they noticed. Sometimes it was one, sometimes it was 76...
If we wanted to be an a-hole or it was someone we really didn't like (e.g. the school bully), we'd use the ripe seed heads instead of the unripe ones 🤭😼

🤣🤣 76 would be a project. Did you find any good eating??
We didnt know you could back in those days! Sticky darts had only an amusement factor!
I guess you're running into spring and might see the early weeds soon. 👍🏼
I haven't seen the Bidens alba near here, but I hear that it might not be as tasty as our weed.
Oh ,no! In Sydney our Bidens grow year-round! Same with dandelions.
Lucky you!
A little insulation from big government.
We have about 2 months when the pickings are slim and we'd have to do some digging.
