I see dandelions are listed in the poisonous plants list, yet dandelion tea is a well known herbal "piss potion" for those who suffer water retention ...... I see mother in laws tongue is in the toxic list, all 5 of mine have been great and really only lashed out at the daughter :lol:

Gee T1, you're lucky. My first one was a FoB. If I spelled it out, I'd get a letter.

Well, the last one hasn't said much at all, but she is in an ashes container on a shelf in Big Bus so that might be part of it ;) :lol:

Dot,
When we visited the Macadamia Farm in Bundaberg they had a notice in the carpark that Macadamia nuts are toxic to dogs, and not to bring them into the orchard which surrounds the shop.
Some nuts fall from the trees before harvest and we did see some on the ground.
So SWMBO had to sit in the carpark with Kelly & Megs while I went shopping — unsuperviseddangerous!! :P
Regards & God bless,
Ray

RAY,
perhaps they don't want 200 dogs peeing on their trees every day while the dogs owners eat Macadamia Nut Ice Creams.

Ray we had a huge macadamia nut tree in our backyard, Tom our cross bull terrier use to eat the fallen nuts, crack them open with his teeth, Bruce several times over the years had to remove pieces of the shell from his teeth & when the kids were cracking them open in the vice, he would sit at their feet for his share, we didn’t know that the nuts were toxic to him, he also loved grapes, when he was about 10 we had to have him put down with kidney failure, the vet told there was nothing he could do for him, we always wondered if the nuts caused his kidneys to fail.

My sister use to live at Bauple, QLD & brought the Bauple nut tree down to us growing in a jam tin.
