A neighbor came by yesterday and said that the "weed" we had growing in our yard was a edible plant known as purslane. Delicious in salads and very high in omega-3. We better start harvesting it while its young.
Yeah, you should send me pics of all your "weeds"! I bet most of them are edible! Like that delicious wild mustard I found all over T or C when I was there, especially around the hotel we stayed at down the street from you.
Just make sure the soil where the purslane is growing is OK, and don't eat a gallon a day- it's also high in oxalic acid which can disrupt calcium absorption and form kidney stones if you eat too much.

this is delicious and even more filling if you add soaked bulghur (as in tabbouleh).
