Can anyone tell me what this is? It re-seeds itself every year - it does not have a scent.

some people use it as a grain.

I just looked it up - it looks close!! Thanks. Of course I wouldn't try eating without taking a sample to a nursery for positive ID ;-)

There should be a Master Gardener group through your local extension agency that would not only be able positively id the plant, but help you find the uses.
