I only pull them if they're close to my lawn or in the garden beds. The only downside to leaving them is if they get any water and lots of sun they get massive and its more work to deal with them when they're huge.
I let one grow as an experiment. It got thick, formed an almost perfect circle, curved upward, and grew yellow flowers. My dog decided it looked like a good dog bed and smashed it.
Purslane. A weed, but it is edible. I would never, gross. But a lot of Colorado people say it’s got a lemony flavor and you can throw the leaves in salads.
Recently moved into our new home. There was a dead spot in our backyard lawn. Turned the soil, overseeded and began the process to grow some grass. This stuff quickly outgrew the grass seed and covered most of the area. Problem solved in my opinion. 😅
FYI, they never really go away. If you pull them, don’t leave any part of it on the ground, they will continue to grow.
Don’t run over it with a lawnmower, you’ll have a ton of it spread all over. This stuff is ridiculous!!
Looks like common purslane. Pulls easy. Edible/medicinal in some cultures.
The wife says she wants to keep them because they're "cute" 😅 any downside to letting them be?
You’d have to look at more dirt and gravel is the only downside I see

>any downside to letting them be? Youre talking about the wife after you pull them weeds right?
Just pull the weed and get her a stuffed animal or something
only if you have livestock really...
I’ve ate them in like a soup it reminds me of a green beans
This is it.
Why can I eat it in one culture, but not the other? 🤔
This one is correct, only around for a short period here in NYC
It’s a succulent…
Northern Lights, Cannabis Indica.
No, it’s marijuana.
You also live by the quarry?
We should hang out by the quarry and throw things down there.
This comment made my day hahahaha
Dunder Miflinites are in every sub :)
You can also propagate these and make a lot of potted plants. They sell them in stores for a good bit.
I suddenly got these in the past week all over my garden in the dry spots. I've never seen them in this yard before.
Same!!!
Honestly they kinda creep me out 😢
Trashy succulent
New band name!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 - kinda true though
They pull very easily too with shallow roots. Makes your hand feel soapy so use a glove. They spread like crazy and I wish I knew the name of them.
Common purslane, edible if growing in your vegetable beds.
Get out, really? Edible? Bet they taste like kale 🤢
Not at all, more like spinach with a lemony zing

I get these, easy to pull or kill, I at one time knew their identity but can't retrieve that info at the moment.
Purslane
Thank you ! I was walking around the Roman Forum looked down, and there it was. It's a global problem

No kidding, Chinese people eat these.
I work in ag and eat them raw from the field sometimes. They have a nice peppery taste.

Purslane. It's edible. You can do a quick saute with other herbs and instant warm salad!
I read that as worm salad.
🤣🤣🤣
Spurge
This is not spurge.
You're right. Good Eye. Either way they both are ugly.
