I read all evening about gardening,on this site and all over.On one site,Purslane,miners lettuce,indian lettuce or whatever nickname it goes by,is winter hardy,can be eaten as an addition to salads and can also be used as a green manure,since it seeds very freely,almost to the point of being a weed.You just dig it in wherever it isnt wanted anymore.

Have any of you used it?

I've had a packet sitting unopened in my tin for about 6 years now, waiting for a spot where I've cleared the weeds enough to sow it. still waiting...

My neighbour grew it as a Winter salad. We all had some the year after. Not seen since but it has the potential to be a pest.
