Weed #2

Located in Zone 6, Louisville KY


Looks like Purslane from here. In my book, they aren't weeds,
they're salad greens. The oxalis is a biting little thing that
brightens up a salad - especially if you're Irish.

The purslane is good raw or cooked. When cooked it acts like okra and
adds that gooey texture.

Search for purslane recipe and you'll find hundreds of ways to eat
this one.
