RE: LUT Hive Garden Journal 2026 #6
I wonder why some grow into a head, and others don't 🤔? It's so odd, same batch of seed, different development. Isn't nature amazing.
I've never grown any cucumbers, or heard of purslane before. I googled it, and it's a type of edible weed. Sounds interesting, do you eat it as salad?
And the sunflower, yes it's definitely over two metres tall. It's very annoying that my neighbour is enjoying my labour 😖

As long as it's edible, it's not a weed in my opinion :)
We use it most often in salads, finely chop it, add tomatoes cut into slices and cucumbers into rings, a little parsley, oil, salt and finally a cube of feta cheese.
Purslane has a slightly bitter-sour taste and goes well with other ingredients. And it's very healthy.
