Quick delivery by seller , Excellent GrowthJul 19, 2011
By Lisa N Texas
Kudos to the seller for getting this to me so quickly. Also I think every one of these seeds germinated and grew. I have them growing in a pot and they have done well.
The seeds are tiny so anyone who is interested in growing purslane for the first time should know that they are extremely small. When you try to grow them , spread them out and lightly cover the seeds with dirt then either water by setting the pot in water or water by mist so you don't wash away the seeds.
They should germinate in a few days, less than a week from my experience.
If you are not familiar with purslane, these are regarded as weeds here in the United States but in many other countries such as Mexico , Greece or even Asia they are eaten frequently as a common green. They can be eaten raw or cooked (my preference is cooked) and they have the highest amount of Omega 3 then any vegetable. Some claims it has more than some of fish oils.
Purslane tastes a bit sour and it has a mouth feel similar to Okra (a bit slimy).
As a "weed" it grows super easy with little to no care. I have it growing in pots and barely pay any attention to it. It loves heat so if you have a hard time growing plants due to drought or hot weather this is a plant for you.
