Super Self-Sufficient
I purposely allowed some purslane to survive in a few select areas of our garden. We love it for salads- and it stays fresh in the fridge for way longer than lettuce does.
i eat it once in a while, but mostly i just like it as a nice cover crop that is different than grass - it grows really well here in almost every garden. i have a pretty tough time getting rid of it completely, but the stirrup hoe does a pretty good job of knocking the younger sprouts back and then they can eventually dry up.
