I really hate bare dirt, so I'm rather lazy about the weeds if my regular plantings don't need the space; when they do grow to need it, I just till the weedies under to add more humus to my heavy clay soils. I had no idea what the little plant was and the squash had not spread out to that area yet. I just left it there - it grew very well! So when my daughter came to visit, she exclaimed.."Oh! you have purslane!" I'd heard of it, but not to identify. I even knew it was an old, old wild edible and very good for you as well. When she reached down, plucked it and popped it in her mouth - I was a bit concerned - but she said it was the right stuff for sure and now that I've looked it up, I'm delighted to see it has aquired its rightful place alonside the basil, thyme and sage. :) I had noticed the plant growing in my garden, and it looked kind of nice - sort of succulent and jadey.

Last week I put purslane on my list as one of the five items I will be growing within four weeks. I am starting a little farm, for sure you'll laugh, its not the commom farm we usuall see. It's much different and maybe you'll get to see it soon. While growing up we used to hunt wild food and this purslane we alway did find some. One of my farvorite place to look for purslane, around abanded properties in the area. And, down by the end of the field all along the ditches where water stood longer. Well, I guess I were a farmer then too, cause I used to dig up some of purslane as well as other different types of wild food and set it out in different spot where none grew. And, for sure the next year we had some growing in those areas. I made sure we had plenty to hunt.once purslane grow in the area you can't get rid of it.
