Your best bet is to consult the ASPCA list mentioned above. They have a comprehensive list and can provide more expert opinions. <br /><br />ASPCA also can provide more details on wild onions. I recommend you stop your dog from digging them up, and consider putting up a small fence to make it inconvenient for her to go in there.Seasonal Wisdomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03100322004379073566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422471925584035060.post-89517716212320702392010-05-16T05:53:40.424-06:002010-05-16T05:53:40.424-06:00I have wild onion/garlic in my garden my pup '...I have wild onion/garlic in my garden my pup 'kuno' loves to dig these up. will it be dangerous for her?

You'r...Thanks for your messages, Kate and Ginger. <br /><br />You're right, Ginger. Angel's Trumpet (Datura spp.) is beautiful, but has poisonous flowers, leaves and seeds. Definitely one to handle with caution. <br /><br />Here's more: http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/hort/consumer/poison/Brugmsp.htmTeresa at Seasonal Wisdomhttp://www.seasonalwisdom.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422471925584035060.post-54412975917151285292009-04-23T20:56:00.000-06:002009-04-23T20:56:00.000-06:00This is a very helpful post.

I have one, but I wouldn't if I had a baby or dog that I couldn't keep away from it. <br /><br />Thankfully our dog is uninterested in plants, and our cats don't go outside. Still this is good info to have!Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11904073032627748614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422471925584035060.post-76780321678913254672009-04-23T07:58:00.000-06:002009-04-23T07:58:00.000-06:00I knew about the grapes and raisins and chocolate ...I knew about the grapes and raisins and chocolate but not the almonds, thanks for the tip.<br />Kate in Richmond, Va.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422471925584035060.post-54724865787385432642009-04-21T13:48:00.000-06:002009-04-21T13:48:00.000-06:00Thanks for your messages.
