SC - Poke sallet

[Christine A Seelye-King]

I'm still catching up on my massive email backlog, but wanted to put a
word in here.  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.
