    Purslane is my favorite salad green. I get it from corn fields. If I pull the whole plant up, I can chop off the top and replant the bottom.

    Purple Shiso is great ground cover and delicious to eat too with a mild minty/licorice/earthy flavor. There are wonderful recipes for pickled Shiso leaves that are a great topping for pieces of Sushi. I planted one plant in a self watering container last summer and this spring it came back on its own but spread all over the corner of the patio. So there is always plenty to eat and this year the leaves are twice as big. They'd be a great alternative for grape leaves if you want to make bite size wraps.

    I love mine- have both red and green Shiso, and I've been placing a palm sized leaf on gluten free pancake batter, then cover with more batter, for grief/pancakes! (Other leaves as well, Clary sage is good! Or chard, etc)

    @@wendiland Yes. So far I am enjoying them by marinating them and draping a single leaf over vegan sushi pieces. I eat them raw with a Korean sauce/marinade recipe I found on-line that has soy sauce; rice vinegar; raw garlic; chili pepper and toasted sesame oil . It came from the Maancghi YT channel where stacks of marinated leaves are made by painting the sauce on one side of each leaf with a pastry brush - by first covering the bottom of the dish with the sauce and placing two leaves on top of that; painting the top leaf again with the marinade and repeating with every addition of two leaves for each stack making sure to cover the top leaf on each stack and then cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Then carefully remove each leaf and drape it over whatever food you want to eat it with. I was thinking it would be good with chunks of plain cucumber too or wrapped around a piece of avocado.

    Thank you Margaret! I think people that are tone sensitive may have this advantage. Although we may practice sounding like a native speaker, I also like hearing someone with an accent as it helps to tell a story about the person. Does it require more patience to teach online vs in person?

    Had the same problem. I think the more common name would be stringy stonecrop (sedum sarmentosum). Wiki did say is was called gold moss too. There was another sedum that goes by that name which makes things confusing.

    I’m looking for an edible ground cover that’s very low-growing and inconspicuous. Something beautiful like perennial peanut is, but where the foliage is also edible… on perennial peanut, only the flowers are edible so it doesn’t make for much a meal.
