“Little girl, why are you doing this? You can’t save all these starfish. You can’t begin to make a difference!” After a few moments thought, she bent down, picked up another starfish & hurled it as far as she could into the ocean. Then she looked up at the man and replied, “Well, I made a difference to that one!” Be the change you wish to see in the world. http://www.stillsthatspeak.com...

I have no use for internet bullies!

It's pokeweed. The leaves can be edible if picked very young and if cooked properly in several changes of water.

Sunset Zone 28, AHS Heat Zone 9, USDA zone 8b~"Leaf of Faith"

The backyard birds do so like to eat those berries. I think they are poisonous to people though.
