Hi Maureen (fancy meeting you here! ;-))

I don't know about the rest, but amaranth and lambs quarters are some of 
the most nutritious veggies you can find. They'd make a great cash crop 
for the open minded, or at the least free lunch for the workers. I 
recommend removing by harvesting! Just grab the plants (watch out for 
the amaranth, some of them have nasty thorns) and pull out of the 
ground. Cook like spinach. Yummy!
