Agreed! I have some pokeweed growing behind the shed, no intention of removing
(or tasting) it. I went to wiki initially to see if the toxins were

I have used pokeweed berries in my forest kindergarten class to dye wool an
intensely beautiful shade of purple. 5-6-7 year olds, harvested, crushed,

For the record, don’t try this at home! Poke berries are very toxic to humans
and many other mammals though some foxes, mice,etc are resistant, as are many
songbirds that distribute the seeds after ingestion. Make sure your kids do NOT
ingest these.
Poke leaves are made edible only after three s
This morning I have a large number of robins all age/sexes foraging on my
productive pokeweed berries and scratching leaves AND chasing each other hard
and long. More athletic long chases than I am used to associating with robins.
They are not just chasing around the berries although I watch
