Description
Green Purslane produces succulent leaves which can be used sparingly in salads or as a cooked vegetable. Their bright green shiny leaves make an attractive plant which grows to a height of about 30cm. Interestingly, this herb is classed as a weed. When to Sow: April to July. Where to Sow: Sow in open ground and apply a very light sprinkling of compost but do not completely cover seeds. Indoors - Seeds germinate at 18-20°C. Place in a tray with compost into a polythene bag or use a propergator until after germination, which should be 10 to 20 days. Light helps germinaton. Outdoors - When seedlings are large enough to handle transplant and thin out to 15cm apart. Pick leaves throughout growing season for use in salads. Harvest: From June to September. The best way to harvest purslane is to pinch off the leafy tips. This is because they grow back almost immediately, so a few plants can furnish a lot of edible purslane. Uses: Use fresh Purslane leaves in salads and can be cooked like spinach.
