RE: 👣 Wednesday Walk

@myjob
I have read and heard there is a way/method of cooking poke so that it edible. I would be more confident in eating it if I was taught.
Only in the past 5-6 years have I started seeing it. I research it and was surprised. I don't see much of it my travels. I also read it's invasive.
@annephilbrick I have it here at my house and I would not call it invasive because I do not have much of it. Granny would cook it to help with stomach problems, I do remember that. The trick is in the boiling and dumping the water off several times. I am still amazed they can handle the cold temps that you have.
It does grow way up north and in southern Canada.
Hardy stuff that pokeweed is....🤗..!!
The plant itself dies back like all perennials do here. It comes back in the Spring.

@annephilbrick so amazing, I thought it was only here.
