Day 176: Weed or Not Weed?

Look! I did a photo for today!


I’m hoping that someone can tell me what this is. It has overtaken my planter in my front yard. I noticed it sprouting up after the ugly, thorny bush was ripped out. I was curious about it, so I let it grow. It took about two weeks to completely overtake the planter.

Thank-you interwebs! It is called portulaca oleracea. It sounds like I should throw some in my next salad. Or wear it as a amulet to ward off evil.

Here are a couple more photos.

In a somewhat related topic: I like Agave Nectar. It is my sweetener of choice, but I don’t really know of a lot of uses for it. I’m trying to not start my baking hobby back up again nor spending money on cookbooks, but I wouldn’t be sad if this kind of just showed up in my kitchen.
