I still have loads of it growing all over the garden, it is so pretty it's hard to believe it could have such a bad reputation. Why stop? Unless you munch into it, it won't harm you. Many of the most beautiful plants are among the most poisonous. Try Gloriosa, Brugmansia and Oleander. I have to say that I have followed this thread closely and have learned loads. I didn't know that potato, runner beans, tomatoes or horseradish were poisonous! I did know of Rhubarb but only because a friend of mine when we were kids picked some leaves and cooked them for her dad's tea because she thought they were cabbage leaves. He ended up in hospital a very sick man! Quite. Never eat any part of a potato except the tubers, never eat green tubers, and don't eat potato raw if even slightly green. The same applies to all parts of the tomato except the fruit (which is edible ripe or green). It is the roots of runner beans that are poisonous, but never eat runner or dwarf/French beans raw once they start to ripen. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
