(Claytonia Perfoliata) (30-55 days)
Miner’s Lettuce (aka Winter Purslane, Indian Lettuce, or Spring Beauty) is a wonderful cool weather salad green that gets it’s common name because it was eaten by miners during California’s gold rush to prevent scurvy! These low-growing plants are native to the West Coast or North America and produce leaves in sets of two which easily reseed themselves if you leave some unharvested and let them mature! Miner’s Lettuce has a crisp texture, a sweet mild flavor, and a ton of nutritional and beneficial qualities making them a perfect addition to your garden!
