 Just out an hour ago and got into hand weeding.  Going good just a few
bug bites than as I looked at what I weeded I realized I planted those
plants. Purslane hides well in with other plants not weeded.  Was
looking for a purslane rich  salad soon.  Shessee

I feel your pain. When planting, I tend plant the same plant type in
clusters. When weeding it not that hard to spot the odd looking plant
that does not belong there.

Hour ago, I just finished mowing the yard and weeding myself. I think my
suntan oil is bad, Im getting a nasty sunburn on the neck. Someday day I
think I'm going to take the risk and get arab head band. Garden hats
just do not protect the neck.
 
Then again I am getting old as well :)

Just lurking. I've seen pictures of bicycle racers in Europe in the
1920s who covered the nape of their necks with a big lettuce leaf, the
edge of which was stuck under their caps.

Wish you were closer, you could weed my garden and have all the purslane you
could carry for your trouble. I put a couple of pickup loads of horse manure
on the garden early this spring and now have unbelievable weeds. I eat lots
of them but it's far more than I could ever use.
