This is not purslane, it's chickweed.

Mea Culpa-- A second look and I retract my mis-identification as
purslane. Too bad-- Chickweed is also an edible weed- but I'd
much prefer purslane.


It's a fall/winter sprouting weed, so spring pre-emergent herbicides are
not going to control it.

Probably doesn't need saying- but just in case. Make a choice of
nibbling or poisoning. Don't eat the plants if you're using an
herbicide.
