| I have regular, edible purslane in my garden. The leaves are not spiked shape either. I think the golden purslane is simply taller and larger, with more yellowed leaves. Supposed to be tastier, too. |

| thanks guys and it is a lot of work,lol imagesoart i was lucky and got these from a friend that ordered to many plugs but you can grow them from seed just have to keep and eye on them and keep them moist and warm.
i still have to tighten the plastic on the big greenhouse because we put it on in front of a storm and it was blowing about 20 miles an hour with gusts up to 40 wasn't the best time to do it but had to be done.
me and my middle son are going to work on a hydroponic lettuce system this weekend if time permits so i will take some pics and make a tutorial.

| i start my maters under lights then when they are about 1"-1 1/2" high i transplant them to 6 packs or pots and put them in the greenhouse with natural light "sun" but i do spray the about once a week with "worm casting tea" that stuff can bring a dieing plant back to life.
