### Growing Your Own Purslane
Purslane is easy to grow in gardens or containers:
* Thrives in **sunny, dry areas** with well-drained soil.
* Grows fast — often ready to harvest within 3–4 weeks.
* Snip off the tender stems and leaves regularly to encourage regrowth.
It’s not only delicious but also a sustainable and low-maintenance plant that gives back generously with every harvest.
