in the ground
Sow light-colored, directly in warm soil, in rows 25 cm apart. Keep soil cool until seedlings appear. Thin to 20 cm on the row. Staggered sowing ensures regular production of tender leaves.
Harvest by cutting stems 10 cm from the ground. Harvesting of leaves and stems begins 1? to 2 months after sowing, as and when required. Purslane resprouts spontaneously. A single plant can produce several harvests a year.
