Portulaca oleracea, purlsane
the nice thing about getting manure from different sources is that it comes with different weeds. why are weeds a good thing?---because some of them are good to eat. i've used some of the llama manure in some new beds i've put in and one of them has sprouted purslane. purslane, like a lot of "weeds", is pretty tasty and quite nutritious---it's a good source of omega-3 fatty acids.

Oooh. what is that tiny watermelon looking thing in your salad?
ReplyDeleteWe rescued a few purslane plants from the park...flattened under a picnic table. They are happily thriving in a pot now, overflowing the container with nice little flowers. I would have never heard of it, except my neighbor who turned my kids onto it...they eat it in Mexico. That and the little finger that grow off a certain cactus. I miss neighborly tidbits.
Yes, and tasty!
