so wolfshadow sez:
Yeah, I'm seeing some poke salad around too. Man, do you know anything about that plant? People can and do eat the very young shoots, if they are cooked properly. But pokeweed is one POISONOUS plant. Lots of nasty alkaloids. For example: pregnant women should never handle pokeweed roots, as it can cause BIRTH DEFECTS. Simply handling the roots!
And yet, it's legal. Go figure.
Edit: Man, what a fascinating plant. It does not, apparently, contain lots of alkaloids. It does contain lots of poisons, though, including, "an alkaloid (phytolaccine), a resin (phytolaccatoxin), and a saponin (phytolaccigenin)."* As well as several different leptins, another very powerful (and poisonous) group of chemicals.
From what I read, it sounds like pokeweed is a useful plant medically. And widely used. But it sure as hell is dangerous.
And yet, it's legal. Go figure.

Yep!.Can be pretty deadly iffing one wants it to:wink:
My great Granny taught me this ALONG time ago.Im not sure about the BOOK info,but from exsp,When they are young like this
http://www.overgrow.com/edge/galler...&action=view&sortby=&in=mar24pokesalad.JPG&s= They can be boiled to taste like fresh greens>>Collard Greens.To get the bitter taste out,ya gotta boil 3 times and drain.Boil again w/lots of butter..
Indains used for COLOR.The purple berries was used for this.My granny always told me thats where the POISON is. Im willing to bet if you pull up some of that soil and SMELL with your eyes closed and think about peanuts;This is what it SHOULD smell like {soil}. Anywhere around Pokesalad is VERY good for planting.

Yea,Aqua.
I got "spring Harvest crew" thread in the OD forum.The first wave already went out.
Fixxing to put out another {wave} on this NEXT moon.That will put them about 3-4 weeks apart.Was gonna do 3 but,Seems to be some Meth Labs starting to pop up in the swamp and leaving a beaten down trail is not worth it for that 3rd.
I like to get them ALL out in place BEFORE we get some real spring growth.2 weeks from now there WONT be no trails that I left:wink: All I can say is;They better hope LEO gets them before I run across the tweeking idiots.

LOL!
I hadn't checked back in a couple days. Holy Shit! I didn't mean to get ya in trouble, wolfshadow.
(To wolfshadow's gf: You really CAN eat it, honest.)
Heh heh heh, seems I can't avoid stirring up shit even when that's the furthest thing from my mind... it's just a gift, I guess.
Hey, don't you wish spring weather could last all year?
