Default Purslane?

I've been (not-very-successfully) fighting purslane in our garden for
years. Now, I hear that maybe it's a beneficial companion. ...

Or maybe just wishful thinking? If anyone has had any good experiences
with it, I'd appreciate hearing.

Thanks,

(I realize it's considered a delicacy in France. 'nuf said.)


Stop fighting and start eating. I eat what little I can find and could
easily sell large amounts to the local restaurants. I assure you there's a
market for it if you'll just look. I know of a couple of commercial
gardeners who grow it to sell.
