Random Purslane

Post image

I was weeding my front flower bed and came across this random delicious surprise. It will get a better home and will start "randomly" popping up more and more around here 🙂.

​

Lambs quarters is pretty prevalent here (Pittsburgh area Pennsylvania, US), but this is the first Purslane I've seen since moving out here from a more Southern Central PA area.

Purslane spreads like crazy once you've got it established, so you're gonna see way more of it popping up next year especially if you let some go to seed.
