 Sweet Peas - Novice Alert!!! At last, I've finally gotten round to my first proper post and as previously warned in my intoduction, this is (PROBABLY) a daft question. Are sweet peas ok to eat? I always thought they were and am sure I nibbled on them at my last house. It's just that I read somewhere online that they contained something that we should aviod.      |

| Before you start nibbling, found this......... 'They definitely appear on all lists of poisonous plants that I've seen! Here's what supposedly can happen if you eat them: "Upon ingestion, causes permanent paralysis, slow and weak pulse,shallow breathing, pain, weakness,tremors, excitement, and convulsions."

| On my packet of sweetpeas, it says "poisonous, harmful if eaten". That is a strong warning to me, I would be smelling them, not scoffing them!
