Deadly Nightshade? I had a panicked Mom call my Garden Center once, and she described what her toddler had eaten - and a LOT of it!

I don’t know HOW Baby managed to do that - the berries are so bitter! Anyhow, she took her to the ER just to be safe. She called us back later in the day; the kid was fine - the Mom? Not so much, LOL!

Amazingly, that evil weed is related to tomatoes!

I’ve often wondered who was the first person to think things like Pineapples, or Oysters were the least bit edible? LOL!

It was these. Later I was to find out ---> Pokeberries. They were growing like ------- weeds, of course. LOTS of "fruit" - need to cut it all off and put in the garbage - at the very least. Toxic to animals and humans from what I've read. They start off bright green and then go purple. Apparently infects a lot of bagged dirt, IIRC.
