What is it?

I'm expanding my knowledge of weeds this summer. Does anyone know what this is called?

  2. Looks like a weed that Caroline harvests and eats; it has a lemon flavor.

  3. I think I've got it... Curled Dock or Sour Dock.

    M, don't let Caroline eat too many of the leaves; they contain oxalic acid. Cooking removes that.
