I have a tiny fenced back yard, which I have seeded with purslane, amaranth and lamb's quarters for use in salads and also to feed any excess to our goats and chickens. We keep the gates locked, and the fence is 6' high resulting in only the rare intruder.
This morning when I went out to pick purslane for our salad today, there was not one purslane leaf to be found in the approx. 10x30' area. The amaranth and lamb's quarters were untouched.
I have read on several websites that purslane has no insect pests, and if that is so, I am wondering if perhaps the wild birds or bats are enjoying my salad. Any ideas?
Thanks
