Thought I'd mention one thing...I use seeds for certain kinds of purslane, like the tasty Golden Purslane. But years ago, I had some pretty cultivated purslane in a pot and for years afterward some of the seeds that scattered nearby came up. Well, it eventually turned out that after a while, the volunteer purslanes no longer had the color of the original plant and I believe they reverted to a wild kind of purslane, with the very small yellow flowers. So if you use seed for cultivated purslane, maybe it would be better to buy the seed or use cuttings so it will be the same plant.
I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White
