Purslane!!

Perhaps one of the best surprises of my summer has been the discovery of purslane. It first came to me in my CSA box and looked oddly familiar....... This is the damn weed that's crawling around my garden. I was picking out and tossing this albeitly-cool Martian succulent left and right. Not Any More.

Correctly identifying my garden purslane of course worried me, but proved easy enough. The first time I ate mine I made sure people knew about my experiment = = good general laboratory practice.
