After listening to Elvis play a live version of “Poke Salad Annie” about 10 times after my last post, I thought poke salad it deserved it’s own, special post. At least it deserved a picture or two.

Although it can look a bit like a turnip green, poke salad can get huge. Here are a couple of recent pictures. The first one is a rather small sprout. The bigger one is my dog’s favorite place to hang out - under the giant poke salad canopy. The big problems arise once the berries get ripe and the dogs get in it and look like they’re wearing war paint.

Now, here’s how big and unwieldy the poke salad gets. I quit fighting most of it.
