adkbuck Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Me too, driving me nuts. Great purslane crop on my parsnip patch. So easy to grow! growalot... do you eat it? I tasted it I could see using it in place of water cress. Just wondering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
growalot Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 yes ..added to salads and this year it's a PITA...I mean every where...if it was a bit droughty I would not mind as much..it can act as a cover crop to retain soil moisture...but we have more than enough moisture...lol... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landtracdeerhunter Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) A year like this makes one appreciate black plastic mulch. I let my garden go to red clover. Sell the hay and buy the neighbors veggies. The deer weed it naturally. It's just been to wet the last two Springs, to get in without rice tires Edited July 30, 2014 by landtracdeerhunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NFA-ADK Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 You have definitely gotten more than we have on LI. The ponds at the archery range are empty (2) and one is green. Mowed lawn 2 weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
