It's semi-succulent, so although it dies off in the winter, it does really well in summer droughts. It's the wild form of the summer flower, portulaca, which we sell at the plant nursery! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portulaca_oleraceaAngela and Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01595787896658046091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8472697.post-24187276340484511472012-01-06T14:57:40.233-05:002012-01-06T14:57:40.233-05:00She talks a lot about purslane.

My only concern about what she says is that the commercialization of growing these wild plants may reduce their good qualities.Angela and Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01595787896658046091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8472697.post-46181441806846769372012-01-06T14:22:30.199-05:002012-01-06T14:22:30.199-05:00Think purslane, dandelion greens, chickweed--all c...Think purslane, dandelion greens, chickweed--all common "weeds" in the northeast! My neighbors hate it that I actually let these things grow in my yard and eat them. My neighbors are fat & unhealthy!<br />But I know we still get too much Omega 6, as we eat vegetarian soy-based meat analogues a couple times a week. Have to work on breaking that habit!Angela and Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01595787896658046091noreply@blogger.com
