RE: BEAUTIFUL & EDIBLE - DUAL PURPOSE GARDEN PLANT - PURSLANE

in #flowers7 years ago

Wild Purslane (Portulaca oleracea) is such a good weed. I like to chop it up and mix a lot of it in yogurt with some wild sumac spice. That's good for any bar-b-que or gyros! And it's great in smoothies or salads, or on a sandwich. Don't be shy with it - enjoy it! And those domesticated flowering ones you got a spectacular! That's a great combination plant to keep going across the years!

Sort:  

Hopefully we will have it for years to come. I love the wild stuff too.

Gyros sound great with the Purslane flavor! Great idea!

You'll have the wild purslane for years to come, for sure. It will be interesting to see if your domestic ones produce true-to-seed, or whether they revert to a more primitive form. Garden experiment ahead! :D
