I have had a couple of old folks who used to just love to come out in the spring and pick all the newly sprouted poke weed. <<<

Isn’t that the one that puts out the poison berry?

Yes it is. And other parts can be poisonous if you pick them at the wrong time or prepare them wrong. But, it is good if you know what you are doing.
