I've been (not-very-successfully) fighting purslane in our garden for

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

Thanks,

Stop fighting and start eating.

+1 on that. Purslane was absent from my garden for years and I was
real happy to see it return this year.

If I were able to take the best flavor of lemon, the crunch of romaine
lettuce, and a splash of the mucilaginous okra, I would 're-invent'
the purslane plant.
