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 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.

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.

GWG8541 Those look great. I have not been able to grow any decent San Marzanos or Romas in several years like we used to for making homemade spaghetti sauce & canning. Just too darn hot anymore it seems & humid. The Amelias have ended up doing the best as they like the heat more better, but are not the best for canning & we don’t have enough because I keep trying to grow the standards we grew so well in the past.

wdaly it’s worth waiting for.

cdavis I miss that adventure. The taste out of the garden vs the store bought is at least 10 times better. Great looking yield.
zbigjeff I do love my garden.

I always plant a couple of rows just for fresh corn on the cob. Every 3rd year we cut it off the cob and fill the freezer. That’s why I have 8 rows this year. Hope your garden is doing great
