poisonous plants

Major lesson learnt!!!

I will have to label all my plants. Tony and I were away for a month and had some friends look after the garden and told them to harvest whatever they wanted. May be I should have made a point of telling them not to harvest the comfrey. They got stuck right into it cooking it in stir fries thinking it was some kind of spinach. I hope they will be alright. I suggested they mention this to their GP next time and have a liver function test done.

What is this

"Hi Em, We already have a tree growing. It has a few pods on it as well (although not as many as your Dad's) and so I don't think Lawrie would have been looking for them. I'll ask him when he's awake, though! I think it would be…"
