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.

You can also treat your lawn with corn meal - it inhibits broadleaf
germination.

But I agree with Jim. We're omnivores - if you want to get rid of
something, eat it.

You know that pigeon problem we have in cities all over? Well, I was

My vegetarian, semi-vegetarian, and lapsed vegetarian sisters all do
that. I always pack various antacids and other tummy potions when I
visit them- most of the strange-to-me veggies they serve me taste okay
going down, but some of them give me monster heartburn an hour later.
And yes, the salad bowl usually looks like the bottom of my wheelbarrow
after cleaning up the yard. I tend to agree with the rabbits- if the
leaf has pointy things and a sharp taste, eat something else if available.
