These are in our food plot and the deer are nailing both, please tell me the first is chicory. Sorry the pic is blurry, had my sunglasses on and couldn’t see too well. This one is growing down low close to the ground, deer are hammering it too
Chicory doesn't get the credit it deserves. It retains its palatability regardless of how big it grows. They even eat the flowers.
I looked again at that other plant and believe it is common purslane. That makes sense for two reasons. First, it grows well in a drought. Second, deer like it pretty well.
