I love this stuff, it grows in my gravel driveway as well as in the yard. Much better than lettuce in just about every way, IMO. Great in soups and stews, salads, I like to put in in my eggs too. It also has waaay more vitamins in it than your average salad green.
Thanks to this post I identified my first purslane today! Thanks all!
Congratulations! It's a wonderful feeling I know.
How did you enjoy it?
mix it with a few wood sorrel pods or leaves for a delightful snack!
I haven't collected any yet...The several I saw were at work. However I have 8 acres at home and I am sure there is some here too.. I will be trying it.
my purslane grows all over the yard, but is stunted and sickly everywhere but my garden. it thrives in disturbed/tilled soil.
it probably doesn't help that my soil is essentially hardpan. i would grow it intentionally if it weren't that i have to weed more of it out than i would probably ever eat.
it's certainly good to have, and otherwise to know there's plenty at need. if i found myself unable to irrigate the garden, it would take it over, and thus the garden would still be rather productive. for similar reasons, i'm putting in a fence of Opuntia ficus-indica. once they are established, i never have to water them again.
I read a tip on harvesting Purslane, If you uproot it from the ground it will use the remaining nutrients it has in it to go to seed. Kind of a survival technique it has, so if someone pulls it up and sets it down it will unknowlingly release seed before it withers.
I haven't tried it so I don't know how this works, unfortunately our purslane here is about finished for the year. But for you guys that like to plant this stuff, I figued this might be a good easy way to get seeds.
You can also break off pieces and stick the ends in the dirt. It will grow roots and start growing where ever you put it. It's really hard to kill purslane off just because it can adapt so well.
Oh that's even more cool...Looks like I've got some experimenting to do next spring
