We're eating a lot of purslane right now, since the turnip greens have turned bitter and the spinach, etc. has all bolted.

What are your favorite hot weather greens?

Better still, are any of them perennial?

Purslane and amaranth--both the cultivated red kind and wild lamb's quarters.

I’m still having good luck with orache. Eastern Pennsylvania. We have had multiple days in the 90s F, mid 30s C, and it’s just getting more vigorous and tasty. It’s pretty, too, and since I garden in my front yard, that’s important to me.

I cleared a space and just planted some more seed today. We will see how it does.
