What is your definition of succulent?

Fleshy does not necessarily mean succulent.

It looks like a chickweed to me too. Definitely not a Sedum or Crassula
(Tillaea).

A picture of the plant in flower would be much more helpful.

I looked up pictures of the various chickweeds and I'm pretty sure it's a
common chickweed. Now, do I go the route of the general gardener and get rid
of the things, or do I go the route of the herbalists? Hmmm...More things to
contemplate on this Saturday.




BTW, how fast was plant going?
Did you take the picture from a moving car?

Hehe :-) I tend to get out of focus pictures whenever the flash isn't used.
I have no idea why that happens. Maybe a trip to a digital photo NG is in
order.

Oh,
almost forgot, here's a picture of it:

Your photo is a little out of focus. Is the weed really succulent? It
sure
looks
like chickweed to me.

Sorry about the phocus, I'm a lousy photographer. ;-) Yes it is
succulent.
I'll look for chickweed and see if it matches. Thanks Jan!

If so, it's edible. (Alt.folklore.herbs folks can tell you about
eating
it
and using
it in medicinal applications. It's the scourge of gardeners the world
over.)
