Howdy All.
My mid-summer bounty of weeds includes a couple of gorgeous stands of purslane. I've heard people will buy it, especially around here, and I see a lot of recipes for it online. I'm thinking about harvesting a bunch for market Saturday but feel pretty sheepish about the whole thing. Even though I frequently munch on it while I'm working...it's a WEED!
Do people really buy it?!
I see Johnny's sells seeds -- is it that variety people are looking for or will the garden variety :) suffice?
How do I harvest (whole plant or cut off arms), store and PRICE it???
Any experience, insight, instruction very much appreciated!
Warmly,
Deb
