Hi All,

I can't get my blackberry seeds to grow anywhere, except this
one little sprouting pot.

Question: are these sprouts really blackberries, or has I
been nurturing a bunch of WEEDS?

Â*Â* you should know what purslane looks like by now?
i thought you grew a lot of it?

It is similar looking in some respects, but not how
it looks as a sprout.Â* For starters, purslane sprouts
are red.

The guys are getting big enough that they are starting
to form the second growth of leaves, so ....

And purslane sprouts have much thicker stocks and their leaves
are rolled up pointing skyward (and are red). The tops of
mature purslane comes in three, fours and fives for pedals,
not perfect fours.

That being said, the pedals on these things I am nursing
look EXACTLY like purslane pedals.

It won't hurt me to keep nursing them If they turn out
to be purslane, I will just eat them. I want to wait
until they start growing mature leaves and drop their
baby leaves.

given different conditions some plants can appear
quite different.
