Thanks to a very clever identification of our blurry weed picture by Josh, I have now determined that our main garden weed (aside from grass) is Portulaca Oleracea or Pursline. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portulaca_oleracea)
Unfortunately, wikipedia also indicates that it is edible! Not only edible, but nutritious, and a source of Omega 3 fatty acids.
So, I have inadvertently thrown out over 10 gallons of our most productive vegetable!
Well, something to keep in mind for next year.
I've read that it's pretty darn edible, too! Ah, well. I've messed up quite a bit with plants this year, more than thee I'd suppose. For one, ducks will eat cucumbers about one week before humans think they are ready...
