    I think most on here grow them as well without knowing

    Castor oil plant has to come in the top 3 that I grow.

      Quite a lot of what we grow here in Shineyland is poisonous but we don't go out of our way to grow poisonous plants. :)

      I seem to remember that @Zigs put a thread on here listing poisonous plants. :scratch:

        Not, is a fake story. I take off mandragora oficinalis and the terrific autumnialis very often without the minimal noise. You can trust, hehe.
        But... his root needs handling with security gloves. Can kill over the skin

        Zigs, can you find some seeds for me? I propose change with european kinds (including non-poisonous for you, if you want)

        For example, in hide park this sumer I found a lot of Lactuca Virosa, Digitallis, and Ephedra.
        All Europe is a plenty of poisons, in fact, all Solanaceae here are poisonous.
        The single think most poisonous than Aconitum Napellus is my awfull english.
        I try to improve it, if can't arrive to my goal, always have my plants... hehee
