I miss that) in any case this was a great post and I loved your pictures !<br />I just came in from raking leaves .. planting a few more ornamental grasses and planting more bulbs ... I have one more order coming from Veseys ... I bought most on sale between Botanus and Vesey's .. more than I ever had before but I am exhausted ! .. I only hope they all survive and smile come Spring.<br />Funny enough I can't keep a house plant alive ... yet I can garden like a maniac .. now how weird is that?<br />Take care girl : )<br />JoyCanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-54773219387906293652015-11-04T05:36:39.893-08:002015-11-04T05:36:39.893-08:00Thank you, Jennifer, so many poisoner plants aroun...Thank you, Jennifer, so many poisoner plants around us.

People focus on monkshood, but clematis is in the same buttercup family, and can be harmful to pets or cause skin irritation in susceptible people, but no one thinks twice about them. Hellebores are another trendy but potentially harmful plant.

Oh but Henry has been chewing on a acorn or two...I take them away from him when I see it. My garden half of the yard is the dogs also. All is fenced in but it's also fenced in half, the other half is for husbands tomatoes, cucumbers...all started from seed.
