Very often when walking around Portuguese countryside I find flowers and weeds I do not see in Poland. But this one here I know very well. I was growing up on a Polish countryside and those are everywhere. And I mean… EVERYWHERE! Gardens, lawns, roadsides. I could recognize it since I was a kid, because we were peaking and eating those little heart shaped fruits.Gdy tak się przechadzam po Portugalskiej wsi to widzę całą masę nieznanych mi chwastów i kwiatów. Ale tego gagatka poznałabym wszędzie. Jako że pochodzę z Polskiej wsi widziałam go na polach, łąkach, w ogrodzie i przy drodze. Dosłownie… WSZĘDZIE! Od dziecka byłam w stanie go rozpoznać. Zawsze latem zrywaliśmy te maleńkie serduszka do podjadania.

This close relative of cabbage and horseradish is a terrible weed that will spread and come back every year. But if you start looking at it is a salad ingredient, you’ll be happy to have it in a harden. Besides that it is quite tasty, it has lots of minerals and vitamins (especially A, K and C) that are good for you. In natural medicine it is used to stop bleedings (more info you can find in Google).Chwast spokrewniony z kapustą i chrzanem rozprzestrzenia się szybko i wszędzie. Ale jak tylko spojrzycie na niego jako dodatek do sałatek, to od razu milej się robi jak wyrośnie w ogródku. Poza tym, że jest całkiem smaczny, to zawiera cenne minerały i witaminy (w szczególności A, K i C). W medycynie naturalnej używany był między innymi do hamowania krwotoków (więcej możecie poczytać w Googlu).

I found this one overgrowing lettuce that was planted in the a small garden. I am pretty sure it will end up as chicken or pigs food. It will grow fast and multiple times a year, especially in mild Mediterranean climates.Znalazłam go rosnącego pomiędzy sałatą w małym ogródku. Skończy pewnie jako pokarm dla kurek albo świnek. W ciepłym, śródziemnomorskim klimacie potrafi rosnąć szybko kilka razy w roku.

You can see here how it huge it grew here. If it wasn't for the animals that run free around I would eat some. So may little fruits...Tu widać jak bardzo się rozrósł. Gdyby nie to, że w pobliżu są wolno chodzące zwierzęta juz bym sobie trochę schrupała. Tyle, mlutkich serduszek...

You just might. I think they can grow in almost any climate :)
