4) If there's a problem, you'd be surprised how emailing me directly can rectify most of them

Chickweed (Stellaria media) Annual or overwintering annual. 60 days to maturity
Spreading groundcover native to all temperate zones, as far north as the Arctic. Succulent, green leaves dotted upon maturity with white flowers. Classic spring tonic, loaded with vitamins, flavonoids, and blood-cleansing saponins. Harvest fresh for a wholesome, succulent and tasty salad green. Used daily, the herb will assist in weight reduction programs. Dried, it makes a worthwhile addition to any healing salve. Plant prefers soils that were heavily manured or composted the previous growing season and have now mellowed into aged compost. Try sowing it in the spot where that monumental zuchini died back. Sow in fall or spring. Strew seed on surface, press in, and keep moist until germination. Grows best in cool soils.

Dark purple berries? To me they have a tomato type taste with an undertone sweetness.

Dark, almost black. And they're still coming back :) I don't like tomatoes so I guess I'm a terrible judge. I thought they would be sweet and to me they weren't, lol.

They are the same seeds I collected from my plant. The have an undertone of a mild sweetness but the tomato type flavor is more prominent. I was going to make salsa but I just collected the seeds LOL
