After A recent thread on chickweed being edible or not, I thought
I'd point out that it appears on restaurant menus.

We did a weed walk with Susun Weed (yes, her real name) many years
ago. her take was that if it was more than 4' from the traffic, it
was ok to eat. or use for medicinal purposes.

Tasty.

Having seen the grey snow a lot farther than 4' from the road, I'd
go with 40-50 feet. It's not like there's still a lot of space
between the roads. Some jurisdictions may use defoliants as well.
