Tex_77 I gave up trying to control it anyway but pulling. If you till or hoe it, each plant becomes 100 plants. Figured what the Heck. Might as well try eating it. University of Nebraska Extension did a spot on it and said it’s pretty high in nutrition. It didn’t kill me over night so I guess that’s good.
wdaly I have a lot of that but didnt know what it was. I will have to look in to it.

Just curious. I have an abundance of purslane taking over my garden. Have research the nutritional value of this plant so finally decided to try it. Had anyone else eaten this weed? I tried two ways. 1) sauteed with some garlic and soy sauce, and 2) sauteed with some onion, garlic, tomato sauce and then simmered with rice. Both were pretty good.
wdaly Ah NO!!! It’s not that I wouldn’t like. It’s a “I didn’t know” or “that question never surfaced”. It’s not a subject (horticulture) that I’m well versed in. Thanks for letting me achieve my goal of “learning one new thing each day”. My only question is: does it have any particular “taste profile”?

wdaly very interesting! I’ve seen purslane on lists of edible plants for survival and such, but this is the first I’ve seen someone cook it up! That is darn cool of you to try!

zbigjeff It’s funny stuff. The stuff I harvested out of the garden is pretty mild. If you harvest it out of concrete cracks, it has a lot of citrus taste. Must be the heat, but two distinct tastes.

Im gonna take a picture of the weed I thought you all were talking about and give you a good laugh. Luckily I looked up a picture of purslane before trying this at home!

Here tonight’s purslane offering. This is the one make with tomato sauce.

wdaly I have heard of this for a long time & have tried many things & used to regularly eat or drink some things that they are now saying is not good. I have never tried this though, but there is a lot of it our there. We are going to have to try it before long. Thank you.

wdaly that looks tasty
. I would try it on appearance alone. I have never heard of it before now. -
Had my first fresh corn
from the garden. It was really good but about a week or 10 days from being fully mature. Getting lots of cucumbers and 5 or 6 tomatoes 
a day now. Man it’s great to be eating out of the garden again.

Should have summer squash when I get back after the 4th.

I got my first maters today. Its from my one “Early Girl” plant that was pot planted inside before the rest of the garden. Its loaded with fruit right now and the others aren’t far behind.

Man it’s great to be eating out of the garden again. cdavis Those cukes are going to town. I would like to get the production I used to get so I could put away a good bushel of pickles. Nothing like that fresh corn from the garden, but I quit growing it a long time ago. Made some watermelon pickles though a week or so ago. Just got back from a serious run to town for supplies. Maybe I will make some more soon. Keep on growing.

GWG8541 really nice maters for a good mater samwich. Ours are just about puckered out for the Summer, but Okra & peppers finally starting to come on strong for a change.
