RE: Edible Wild Plants - Lamb's-quarters / Chenopodium album

Great info and one I've seen and studied a bit myself but have yet to find and positively identify. The leaves in the first photo are different than the latter ones? Same plant, different stages? I do want to comfortably be able to locate and identify this one! Much appreciated.

Sort:  

Yes, the leaves at a younger stage look more arrowhead or "goosefoot" shaped. When the plant elongates in the fall and the flower/seed head form the leaves look completely different, long and slender.
