I planted a few veggies from seed a few weeks ago, and then I had to leave for almost two months on business trips. When I got back, my garden was over run with Purslane and other weeds. Most of my seedlings are doing ok, however I noticed this plant in a few spots that seems to be doing rather well. I hate to kill it if it is a veggie, but they are getting SOOOO big that it is crowding everything else around it. Can anyone ID this for me? Thanks in advance, uh2 Attachments: Quote \| Reply \| Report
