P reported it first, but: First peepers this evening!

I noticed the japanese knotweed is poking its first leaves up on the bike path. (In town is earlier than out here where there is no sign of it yet.) I expect this week it will be up to the first harvestable shoots, especially after this rain and then the warm snap we're supposed to get. If i were in town right after work either monday or thursday, or maybe friday- anyone want to meet me in Davis for a short workshop?

Short form: why these are good to eat, and how to not let them spread.
Directions: If you just want to go see an example, walk from the Davis Sq T down the bike path to almost where it crosses Willow. Look along the fence to your left. Last year's plant is the old dried stems that look a bit reddish and segmented like bamboo, with a bit of a zigzag wiggly look. At their feet are new 2-inch or so heart-shaped dark red leaves, maybe by now growing up on hollow green-red stems that look a bit like asparagus. Read this before harvesting.
