My front planter was full of it. It was pretty, but starting to get ugly and straggly. I've been planning to pull it all out for a couple of weeks now. The flowers, stems and leaves taste like cucumber when they're young, but are covered with little prickles when they're older. I kept feeling them through my cotton gloves, but luckily nothing seems to have gotten stuck in me permanently.
It reseeds itself like crazy, so it'll all be back in a month or two.
