Keep harvesting fresh salad leaves through the colder months with this completely hardy cut-and-come-again crop. Also known as miner’s lettuce, Winter Purslane produces tender, slightly succulent green leaves with a mild, refreshing flavour. Sow from summer into autumn for reliable winter harvests, picking a few leaves from each plant so that they continue to regrow. The small white flowers are also edible.
