That's the same stuff Paul-------thanks for that. I've always heard of fried polk but no one in my family ever fixed it. Now I know how and will give it a try next spring.
Jeff, your plants are still way too mature.
Paul's link gives a tip on how to find polk next spring. Just keep an eye on the old stalks next spring about mushroom hunting time. With Jeff's picture (look at the very newest growth in his picture) you should be able to indentify the new shoots.
