Marinea, could you say more about how you grow purslane in an old tub?
We bought some seeds from Baker's Creek this past spring, because I haven't seen a lot of it around here. I started the seeds in cups outside under a garden hoop frame, and transplanted them to the tub when the seedlings were a few inches tall.
The tub sits in full sun. It has a layer of rocks in the bottom and is filled with soil and compost. I have a wire hoop over the top to keep the chickens out. The purslane is going to seed now, and I am hoping to let most of it go and see if it reseeds itself. I know I put less than a dozen seedlings in, and the tub is overflowing.
I think I watered it a few times when the weather was really dry. This is our first time with purslane and I have found it to be very hardy.
