Summer purslane is easy to grow, being more resistant to slug attack than lettuce, especially when plants are bigger. It is succulent, producing gorgeous and tasty leaves for salads throughout the summer. We highly recommend giving it a go. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeed saved by:\u003c\/strong\u003e Omved Gardens\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eWhen to sow\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eMarch - July direct\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRequirements:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e nutrient-rich soil, regular watering, and a lot of sun.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhen to harvest for eating:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eJune – October\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to harvest for seed saving:\u003c\/strong\u003e July - October\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeed to isolate:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e No \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeed saving:\u003c\/strong\u003e Summer purslane is a wild vegetable that is quite stable and does not need isolating. Simply allow it to grow, flower and set seed - the seeds can be tricky to catch at the right time as they drop readily (meaning they also self seed in seasons to come) - keep an eye on the plants once the seed heads start to ripen and harvest just before the pods open, seeds are tiny, shiny - a black colour indicates ripeness. Dry the seed thoroughly inside and then package up. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of plants to save seeds from:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e5-10 minimum, more is ideal\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePollination:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMostly self pollinated \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to send back \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eseed:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Please label all seed with variety, type, date and your name and contact.
