I received two packages of edible purslane seeds yesterday,
the green variety and the golden variety, so I'm going to 
attempt to grow some of these "weedies" for salads. I've
been wanting to try purslane ever since I read about it in
Euell Gibbons, but it doesn't grow wild in our area.

Any idea how many plants per square? Or should I confine
the plants to containers?
