Pennycress

This plant loves growing as a weed in ground that was disturbed during the growing season the previous year. Many farmers simply spray it to clear the ground. We look for it in fact and try to find thick patches of it to cut. It holds like iron and stays bright green. It can easily be dried and then the plant will turn tan. The only drawback is you will need to change the water if holding it in the cooler as it will smell like onions, but don’t worry, the cut stems do not.
