Seems to be what its called. Appears easy to pull up from moist soil if I
can work my fingers deep enough in the St. Augustine next to it. Not a
whole lot there, primarily scattered. Knock it out in 1/2 hour easy.
Went to the accompanying weblink:

Had alot of Purslane in spring. I pulled it up. A little Pigweed here
and
there. Think all due to sandy loam that I had brought in late winter.
None
of these 3 are naturally occurring in my area that I've seen. Nightshade
is, but is not in my yard. Live NW of Wimberley, TX.
