      I like to mix up various flowers with veg and herbs. Wouldn't be without them, some of them quite deadly like foxy's, lupins and sweetpeas.

      Luckily for me my children are all grown up now and the grandchildren only visit the plot to feed the chickens now and again.

      I suppose most stuff that isn't grown for food will be toxic in some way or other?

        Even lettuce is toxic if you eat too much of it.

          I think it is pretty close to opium. (no scientific backup here but I seem to remember reading that somewhere)

            this looks interesting, but I don't know how reliable it is.
