Datura seeds
To those who sent me emails for Datura seeds, I haven't forgotten, as
soon as the first week in November arrives, I will be posting them. Remember to use gloves when handling the seeds. I am told that just a few can be fatal to a large animal although I am not sure how accurate that is. When the pods split, they leave zillions of seeds on the ground and I have yet to see a dead animal. Judith |

I used to leave the datura seeds over winter in the greenhouse as natural rodent bait. It was pretty effective. I think the toxicity is overplayed a bit, but you really don't want to take chances. It is a potent chemical weapon. The smell of the bruised leaves is enough to put most people off although the scent of the flowers on a warm evening is divine. Been a bit cold and wet for them where I live this year. Definitely wash your hands after handling. Regards, Martin Brown |

from Martin Brown contains these words: I used to leave the datura seeds over winter in the greenhouse as natural rodent bait. It was pretty effective. I left some in a cardboard box in my back porch (described by previous inhabitants as a 'sonservatory, but not by the estate agent!) and the mice scoffed most of them. Didn't seem to reduce their ranks at all. -- Rusty Direct reply to: horrid dot squeak snailything zetnet point co period uk Separator in search of a sig |
