I planted seeds yesterday, they are third year seeds, collected them from a potted plant I had. It never disappoints as long as I plant it when it's very hot. And then cover the pot so it stays damp for a week or so, then voila seedlings.

Beautiful, portulaca Justin!

Nice! I'd bought a few purslane plants a while back and hadn't gotten around to potting them up in larger pots yet. Well, today I noticed a large pot that had purslane in it last year, but supposedly vacant now. Well, guess what, there's small purslane again...must have come up from seeds, because no purslane survived last winter, I know that!

That's called perseverance, Linda!!!

Purslane the ultimate survivor! Just got over 2 inches rain the other night and the lightning provides natural fertilizer...you can't buy that combination, it's too precious here!

Today

Beautiful!!!!

Purslane seeds have sprouted!

Congratulations, Judy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are my hero. I've never been able to get them to germinate.

BEAUTIFUL Justin

I think the only thing I did correctly was use seeds that are viable. A few years ago I noticed that my purchased purslane plant reseeded in neighboring pot, so I figured where the seed pods were and collected some seeds. Then just scatter teeny seeds on wet soil in a pot outdoors, place a saucer (or dogs extr water dish) on top of pot to protect. Then after a week remove saucer and exposé seedlings to light, watering daily.

Smart!!!
