      How can I safely tell if any are poisonous? My son is getting to where he can walk and I need to know if its time to go to war on my yard

      Please don't take this the wrong way, but if that's your main concern it'll be best to concrete the yard. So many common garden plants are toxic (Rhubarb, potato and tomato foliage are just a few common examples). Matthew has reached 22 years of age despite being raised around Foxgloves, Datura, Aconitum and many other toxic plants. The second his hand reached for foliage it was slapped and he was reminded that all plants are to be considered poisonous. I think that what I'm trying to say (badly probably) is that increased awareness is far more effective than minimised risk. I'm horrified when I see parents who let their kids drink straight from a tin can - do they not know that rats are incontinent!
      All said with the best of intentions..................


      Where are you? I only ask as that's not a very British phrase and it will have some bearing on what can grow there.

        Sorry Sparsons been busy.. longk has made some very good points in his post.. I too let my kids grow up in a natural garden environment just making sure your kids don't pick and eat like the rest of us do I am sure your little one will be fine...
        I was assuming you are in the UK but as longk says we don't really use the expression "yard".. ;) :SUNsmile:

        Thank you and you're completely right, awareness beats reduced risk.

        I'm from the south eastern part of the US btw. I think yard is pretty much our dumbed down version of lawn

        Hi Sparsons, I think you say yard we say garden :SUNsmile: but whatever we all talk the same language.. Gardening... :biggrin: We do have a few regulars on here from the USA as well...

        Sparsons this website might help you.. http://www.alabamapermaculturenetwork.org/Weeds of the Southern United States.pdf
        Scroll down to get it started..
        I know I don't know exactly where you are but this covers southern states.. The worst one I come across out there has to be the Poison Ivy though, gosh that has had me so many times..!!! :yikes: Fels-Naptha soap always helped that... ;)

          I suspect 1 and 3 are climbers which are common in the US but not in the UK. 2 looks like it could be a clematis but th stalks aren't right.

          I thought that no.1 looked familiar - could it be a Wisteria species?

          I thought about that too and also maybe one of the Clematis, wild or cultivated escapee.. It does look familiar..
          Any chance of more of the plant in pic 1. Sparsons.?
