How Nature says "Do Not Touch" #foliagefriday

Or "don't eat me or you'll be sorry"

Getting ready to start these seeds! Does anyone know if there's such a thing as a handsome sign warning that the plant is deadly poisonous? Don't want anyone to eat what they think is a cherry tomato and croak on my lawn...

😲😲😲 I just saw the word tomato . I would have eaten them.

Exactly, @charlotte -- exactly.

Ummmmm. No. 😳🤯😵 @emch

I can only find decals, not a sign you can put in the ground...

I would make a sign, if need be👍 don't eat the tomatoes

I would need the sign to say THESE ARE NOT TOMATOES.

So do they actually grow tomatoes that aren't edible? Thats so crazy whats the point? I would hope the leaves would deter people away tbh but what about animals? Can it harm them?

@heatherdirtyhands they are a member of the nightshade family that makes berries closely resembling golden cherry tomatoes. The plant is mostly grown for the display of #wickedspines but are NOT for eating.

@emch It would have been nice if you asked to use my photo. 🙂
