Bumper crop! Free. Come and get it. You have to harvest it yourself. Several years ago a young man, Celso Reyes, sometimes helped me in my garden. He would help me with my Spanish (rusty from years of disuse) and I'd help him with his English. One day as I was busy weeding out the purslane which at times covers everything, he said, "This is good. We eat this at home." I never did convince myself to try it. I think I was wrong. Good heavens, can that be? Tomorrow I will harvest some and try it several ways. How can I pass up free food? Purslane! Bumper crop! Free. Come and get it. You have to harvest it yourself.
