bumplbea said:My goodness so many plants are poisonous to animals.... rhizomes, mmm... then why didnt all those mice that ate my iris rhizomes over wintered stored in the barn die? Even the moles chomp on them in summer not to mention my beautiful dahlia tubers. It's like planting critter food? Mice and gophers love them. Wouldn't that be nice if they eliminated all my gophers...yet my daffodils continue to grow over the years those are poisonous to critters. They come up every year. How do the critters know what not to eat?
My collie gets jealous over all the attention I give my garden plants , and she will look at me to be sure I am watching her and take a pretend bite of any plant she is near just to tease me... like she's sayin, "I can get your attention too without a single bloom on me"!
Ok mabe I got a bit off track...
