All my products are from companies that are certified organic. I think I said that so as not to mislead anyone. Herbs are from frontier herbs etc.

| Pokeweed. Ah, just the name brings a laugh from The Girls. When they were about 10 ten years old, we got permission from a company (next to the railroad tracks, of course) to harvest their elderberries. While there, we found a wild grape vine and excitedly picked those, too. Mixed in among the trackside overgrowth were quite a few beautiful specimens of poke in full fruit. The Girls thought they were more wild grapes and ate a lot of them, even though they "were sort of tasteless". When they finally saw the plant from which they were eating, they moved away and didn't tell me anything. They had been told all their lives that they were poisonous and resulted in death. They didn't want me to worry, so they didn't say anything for many years. Every time the poke pops up in the garden, one of them will say "you know, Mom, they really aren't that poisonous". No one wants to try again, though . . . My grandfather, from Tennessee, absolutely loved poke salad. Double-yuk from his Yankee granddaughter.

| Poke salad, collard greens and turnip greens. I declare!!! That's makin' my mouth water just thinkin' about 'em. I was told by an elder mountain lady that poke berries are good for what ails ya'. And the local wild strawberries aren't poisonous either, even though I've had people tell me that while I was filling my belly with 'em.  On the contrary, they're delicious!

poke berries are good for what ails ya' ....true, if what ails you is constipation.  I got acquainted with Poke while living in North Carolina. And whoever told you that wild strawberries were poisonous, was just to keep you from eating them all.  Ohio weather today sounds like what we faced every winter when I was a kid growing up in Colorado. On the pass, sometimes the cabins were completely covered in snow. Beautiful place to be from.....so we got to Texas as fast as we could.
