Purslane (Portulaca oleracea)

Durgan · June 27, 2015

There is a good crop or purslane growing. Collecting the seeds manually is tedious. I collect by laying a fiber mesh screen on a tarp and sweep up the fine seeds. This is done over a period of about two weeks. Below is my 2012 system, which I have made again for 2015. I use the seeds much like one would use poppy seeds.

One and one half cups of Purslane (Portulaca oleracea) seed was collected. The tarp screen method works well. The seeds are very small. Annotated photographs depict the procedure.
