>Rhiannon, neighbor, the thing to remember about Poke Weed
is that it is edible while green, and inedible once it turns red/purple
(the ones here turn a dark purple, but I can see where climate could make
that into a red, too).  That goes for all parts of the plant, as far as I
know, ie. even if the bottom is green and the top is purple, that has
gone too far to use the green parts.  Never tried it myself, but I grow a
lovely crop every year. <

Must be a variant in variety in this area, then- our spring poke has
noticeably red stems. Didn't really notice when I was living in Virginia,
just knew what it was.

The World's Need

So many Gods, so many creeds,
So many paths that wind and wind,
When just the art of being kind
Is all this sad world needs.
