We were painting today too. :)
Yeah Monkshood is another one passed down to me from grandmother. It was in many old gardens, no one was poisoned because they knew not to fool with it - sorry about your pup!! :( I planted mine by the telephone pole - "don't eat nuthin from here" zone :roll: It is well to keep toxic plants far from anything you would consume, and not where children will be playing, for sure.

I've been foraging the dandelions all over the garden. Most are at least knee high.
Not bitter at all like the ones in CantralPark NYC, lol.
Using them in everything from frittata egg tarts to warm salad side dish. Very similar to
escarole that changes once it take on some steam/heat.

Excited about growing some good greens here!

Greens are luscious in this climate, no doubt about it. :yes:
We also grow the best sweetest carrots ever tasted. They just do amazingly especially the Chantenays. Kelp fertilizer seems to sweeten everything.
