Purslane
I don’t care if it is higher in omega-3 fatty acids than any other leafy vegetable. Portulaca oleracea is a weed that drives me crazy. Almost falling headlong into the garden while pulling a balky weed is more gardening excitement than I would like.

That and the nightshade. (I think it’s nightshade. ) Oh, maybe next year I’ll let the purslane take over the garden and start eating it. If you can’t beat it.

Purslane is best when it's young and tender. Grow it in pots or shallow wide containers and harvest as needed, using mostly top leaves and stems. Once the plant blooms it won't be as tender and tasteful. Just a note-don't confuse purslane with Moss Rose, Portulaca grandiflora, an annual that is grown for it's rose like bloom. Confusing the purslane with the moss roses was my mistake in years past. By the time I figured out what was going on, that stuff had taken over everywhere. This year I tried a pre-emergent weed treatment that has kept the purslane at bay. Sort of.
