I save purslane seed! because I want it EVERYWHERE not just in the paths where it’s at now
two year now I’ve been spreading it out. that and I do this with yarrow and my prairie sage too.
I’ve found that bad planning, inability to remember where I put a label, and cramming too many plants in satisfies my “gather” urge, as I’ve got to climb in and out and search for food by the time summer is in full swing.
every day a surprise, did I plant this? what IS that
purslane coming up.
This is so AWESOME! This is exactly my style of Gardening, everything all over.
Same, I do this with all of my favorite plants! I wonder if your purslane is different from my local purslane. I’ve traded with someone from Utah & their purslane seeds were larger than the ones I found here. Seems to be different subspecies all across the U.S.
My only concern is Ticks, those nasty lil buggers. Them & Mosquitos are the only insects I actually hate, every other insect even wasps I’m fine with cuz they don’t go out of their way to hurt me.
no ticks here luckily
I’ll trade purslane! I keep hoping it’ll get bigger/stronger every year lol
I am not a seed saver… my grandmother on my mothers side was… and she got me into gardening.
She had a old family big pink tomato that she saved seeds from each year… and other stuff too.
I do forage for wild rootstocks though.
I have 3 pears on callery… and I think 10 persimmons on wild dv.
TNHunter
I have virtually no weeds. There’s thick mulch everywhere
Could it be that I am less “evolved” than other humans???
No, not unless you’re somehow actually an ancestral amoeba pretending to be a human online.
This is pretty disingenuous.
Do you really think the hardware of our brains has changed in the last few thousand years?
Or do you really think our brains didn’t reward us for foraging when we were hunter gatherers for 99.9% of our species existence?
Modern things that activate the rewards centers are just hijacking those reward center that were set up for a hunter gatherer society…just because they are effectively hijacked doesn’t mean it’s gone
I feel like most parts of the world have had agriculture long enough for a bit of evolutionary change to occur.
I don’t disagree, but I doubt it would effect the most basal parts of brain anatomy in that short a time
Awesome! Perhaps we could also trade other seeds too. Dm me!
Nice! 
altho I still love my edible weeds
No feel about it, it certainly happened!
Look at Corn (Zea mays), Squash (Cucurbita) and many other domesticated crops. I think they evolved. Corn has formed a symbiosis with Humans, we like to think we domesticated corn but It’s fair to say Corn also domesticated us too .
It was a random grass before it became the epic crop we know & love!
