Thanks, Kate. I've been to Mendosa's web site, which is quite good. I was
just trying to make a shopping list of fruit and veggies for my wife and
daughter to pick from, of stuff I like that won't hurt me.

The poke weed I remember has rather thick stems and grows a
few feet high. Often grows in untended areas near houses. I
THINK I've read that the stems are edible if you get them early
enough in the season, well before it starts growing the dark purple
berries; however, I've never tried it.
