Many a Civil war soldier wrote home using the ink from these berries also.<br /><br />Wikipedia also says that a good brown dye can be made from the berries and you dye the fabric in a pumpkin. I thought sometime I would try it with some wool and then weave something up from it!<br /><br />Jaimie in EvanstonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-72342916539937477212009-09-09T21:52:36.490-04:002009-09-09T21:52:36.490-04:00Love the rugs.

Those berries will be PURPLE and the birds will eat them and then you'll have purple **** on your car and your house (or anywhere the birds have been.) My advice is to CUT them down NOW!!! Also, the seeds in the berry will be spread by the birds and you'll have lots of pokeberry plants next year! And so the cycle goes!<br /> How are your gourds doing? You might be making bird houses next.<br /> I love the new rugs!<br />LALAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06462467778213463088noreply@blogger.com
