Pokeweed

One of the two banes of my existence.... Japanese honeysuckle is the other.

Oh, and Greenbriar. So 3, I guess.

And wireweed.... Make that 4.

I should stop now.

The dragon tongue beans are super easy to see and pick, taste good and looks cool.

That's the only bean I grow now. Prolific, easy to find the beans, tasty, and hubby likes them!

OH, I can fix that. It's such an incredible joy.

We recently found the bindweed invaded our space as if we did not have enough weeds trying to take over.

Bindweed has flowers, right? Like morning glory type flowers? Yeah, we don't have that one...

Virginia Creeper is another one that's becoming a real PITA.

Finally getting tomatoes! Of course now we’re coming into Autumn so likely won’t get too many.

Have to boil and change the water several times to get rid of toxins.
Birds can eat the seeds with no issues. That's how it spreads everywhere. Toxic to mammals

So, it is edible.

I think baby pokeweed is edible. Otherwise I believe it's poisonous to humans
