I've been wanting to add it to our garden, and your beautiful pictures are all the more motivation.

What I am wondering is if purslane can get so large that it is no longer tasty.

Maybe I'm not looking hard enough, but it's certainly not the weed that lamb's quarter is, for ex.

My neighbours hate it-- I have a garden full of dandelions, lambs quarters, nettles, yarrow, and mallow. <br /><br />Purslane is my favourite though, I just love the flavour of it. I saw a big bunch growing in a flower bed about a week ago, but I didn't know whether the flower bed owner used weird chemicals or not... do you just pick yours from anywhere, or are you rebeccahttp://cauldronsandcrockpots.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
