scarlet runner beans - OK for kids?
Hello!
I want to put some plants in to cover a very dull fence. I have young children and am looking for something non-toxic & decorative. I know the beans of scarlet runner beans are edible, but what about the flowers? Are these child friendly plants? Any other suggestions? My children are always supervised when outdoors, but you can never be too careful. TIA, Jacqui |

But since you brought up the topic, perhaps you should consider the bees, too. Where there are flowers, there will usually be bees, and honey bees are not noted for their tolerance of inquisitive children. -- John Savage (news reply email invalid; keep news replies in newsgroup) |
