This is what happens when you take weed science in college:
- My favorite vegetable might be purslane, a commonly hated weed. I think most people think I am very weird because I keep recommending it to others. I have not had anyone try it that didn’t like it though.
- Peter picked Weeds of the West as his bedtime story. It is probably my most often recommended book to others. Including six year old boys.
- We had Kids club at the garden. When we needed something to do, I took them on a little nature walk…across the parking lot to look at a large, yellow patch of dodder. Because who wouldn’t want to look at a parasitic plant?

How does one eat purslane I have gobs of it and find it quite pretty but the man gardener here hates it. So let me know how to serve it up on a plate for him.

It’s a lot like any other green: I put it in omelets this morning. I’ve also used it in salads, on sandwiches, as part of Hawaiian haystacks. It’s pretty mild, so easy to throw in anywhere and does well cooked or raw.
