You could get a grip on one stalk and the whole plant came out roots and all. Weeding this morning was fun. At $4 a pound I made a bundle. I have to admit when I was in my herb aquisition period, I bought some golden purslane. That was 20 years and it still pops up now and then.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00954826148369517031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-37018414110926462282010-07-18T11:52:00.599-04:002010-07-18T11:52:00.599-04:00Remember, a weed is a plant that is out of place, ...Remember, a weed is a plant that is out of place, a good general definition that covers the lemon balm that I bought 28 years ago, one four inch pot, and now infests every coroner of the yard.
