Nature Done Wright

   You see this berry around the Celery Farm a lot.

   I posted this photo over the weekend, and when a friend of this blog asked what it is, I drew a blank.

   It is pokeberry, or pokeweed. I am told that catbirds love it and even get a little intoxicated eating it — but that it is poisonous to humans.  Stay away.

   It has some nifty historical significance as well.
