Weed or Vegetable ?*

(Question)

Few of these plants pop up from my compost. Are they edible?

Thanks a lot for your time!

Note: It is the plant beside the rosemary.

 

(Answer)

The plant beside the rosemary is a Common Groundsel (Senecio vulgaris) and belongs to the daisy family (Asteraceae).

This plant is an annual weed; you can easily pull it out before seedling and put it in your compost pile.
