I am from Oklahoma and so have my folks. I would not touch it or any other green type stuff, but my parents did in early spring, and Mama says it was because they were hungry for fresh green growing stuff in the old days. I say well, it sure "smells" green. LOL Mama likes mustard greens the best and I have been known to eat a little of it. But not the rest. Mama is in Paris hospital today, as her lanoxin(heart medicine), is out of order and she was having arrithmyia(sp?), irregular heartbeat. She has not had this problem since she had pacemaker installed over two years ago. She is 89 and a half, and my brother and neice are with her today. I cannot go as I have trouble walking and stay at home most of the time. I have to be in Tyler, Tx orthapedic clinic on the 16th, so hopefully Mama will be out of hospital and able to talk to me after I get the back looked at. I hope all are making it out there.
