Can you suggest plants that paralyze pooper-scooper scofflaws?<BR/><BR/>MonicaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14731145.post-1164227462413697772006-11-22T15:31:00.000-05:002006-11-22T15:31:00.000-05:00Wow...you guys are a lot more "socially responsibl...Wow...you guys are a lot more "socially responsible" with your gardening than I am! Of course, I live in the middle of the woods, but some of the "shackers" (vacationers) have dogs...still I plant what I want, regardless. My property is by no means near any public property, so I figure if somebody's pets are in my yard and get poisoned, then the irresponsible pet owner is to blame. As for kids...I need worry only if I grow pot plants! ;)lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18133943147518051559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14731145.post-1164078356094084252006-11-20T22:05:00.000-05:002006-11-20T22:05:00.000-05:00Castor bean plant is grown a lot here in Cleveland...Castor bean plant is grown a lot here in Cleveland as an annual, too. I think that the fact that it is easy to grow <I>and</I> looks showy and tropical will keep people growing it in spite of the risk.<BR/><BR/>I can't bring myself to grow castor bean--or monkshood, either--here in the city for the same reasons you don't. However, I do grow the poisonous rhododendron, digitalis, and lily-of-the-valley. Rhodies seem to not invite dogs or kids to chew on them, the foxgloves are kept in the front yard away from the sidewalks, and the lily-of-the-valley will be trimmed of its berries every year if a young child or dog moves in next door.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14395380166485303934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14731145.post-1163984885271638492006-11-19T20:08:00.000-05:002006-11-19T20:08:00.000-05:00a little disturbing.a little disturbing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14731145.post-1163918722162637862006-11-19T01:45:00.000-05:002006-11-19T01:45:00.000-05:00There's an English garden of poison plants.
