Abstract
During a recent competition among village communities it was heard that the prize judges rated the perception that wild spinach was growing on a wall on a village street as a positive point in the evaluation of a locality. Knowing readers will in most cases take this in with a quizzical shake of the head. Even those who are (still) cognizant of the fact that this is a goosefoot (bot.) that formerly had grown in places with a high ammonium content, such as walls along a roadside and in cattle barns, will be puzzled that this forgotten wild vegetable has now served to upgrade a village. What's behind it?
