Oxalis

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.

get rid of both as they like 'poor' soil]

Thank you. After a Google I know what herbicides are most likely to work
on them. Looks like the Oxalis (a.k.a. Wood Sorrel) might be the most
difficult of the two.


Hell, I just let the sorrel fill in the bare patches in my yard. It's a
hell of a lot nicer than chickweed, mile-a-minute vine, poke plants, or
this other weedy thing that I haven't identified yet... I figure if I
let it grow it'll choke out all the REALLY bad stuff.
