Seriously this polk grows under the butternut tree, and that is the only thing that ever has been able to grow there. By the end of summer it’s a patch about 48 sq. feet or more and about 5 feet tall give or take a bit.

That’s a whole lot of what most in my family and his consider mighty fine eats.

Some people will probably consider me crazy, but I ordered poke seeds to grow on purpose! The root has several medicinal uses, although it's strong enough that the usual dosage is one drop!

Doesn’t surprise me a bit. I know lots of people that would plant some polk if they couldn’t get it from somewhere. For some reason or other I missed out on greens except for spinach.

When I was a kid, I used to love to eat spinach. When we had spinach for lunch at school(at least once a week), I would eat the spinach from all the kids at the table as well as my teacher’s spinach, cause no one else wanted it.

Somewhere along the line, I lost that. It’s too mushy, stringy, and not a bit tasty to me now, unless its with other stuff-like in a quiche, soup, or stir fry veggies.
