The old timers here taught Frances how to cook this green, which turns out on the plate looking and tasting very much like spinach. The tender tops of this plant must be gathered in spring - before it is fully mature and the flowers start to appear. If you wait until the plant is full-grown, it has deep purple colored berries on it. Cooking it requires the right amount of lard to kill the poison. Frances uses Olive Oil for that purpose and it works!0Fred Altonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12740055638280779519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4007559723933823460.post-698903890361534702011-05-19T19:13:16.599-05:002011-05-19T19:13:16.599-05:00Wow Missy, you are quite the organized gardener......Wow Missy, you are quite the organized gardener....I am very impressed...This is a wonderful idea and I sure wish that I had done it a long time ago as well...Geez, I wish I had done it last year!!<br />I do hope you get to feeling better real soon...<br /><br />Hugs and Prayers<br />ShugShughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12287830519297050445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4007559723933823460.post-26113683952757106512011-05-19T11:34:18.296-05:002011-05-19T11:34:18.296-05:00Just added to my T0-D0-LIST ~ garden journaling!

I have never done that, before and won't start now.At 81 and a half I still get out in my 2 flower beds and my half whiskey barrel. Hubby does not like me doing that but If I just sat and did nothing I would go crazy, so I start with an old back, old whiplashed neck and just keep on in my flower beds. Then when I come in try to hide the aches and pains so he won't start harping at me. Can't stop now.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02272388069537746789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4007559723933823460.post-31566627770496482152011-05-19T07:48:39.310-05:002011-05-19T07:48:39.310-05:00Hope you feel better soon!

Im sending a prayer up for you to be better. My gardens are my self therapy. There is something about digging in the soil & tending the plants. I started my gardens 16 years ago. I have moved things around a lot. This year I decided to start a garden journal. Yours is much nicer than mine. Your post gave me extra info to consider recording. So gald you shared your post today.
