Let us accept that the difference between a prophet and a madman is not what they say but whether the crowd accepts the story and tells their children to believe it.

Sure did -

egg-plant = Solanum melongena [the common or garden aubergine]

I admit I left 'plant' off on porpoise.

Oxfordrocks,
you could have had Quince.


Ragwort.
Common Ragwort (Senecio jacobaea, hereafter referred to as ragwort) contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids which are poisonous to horses, other farm animals such as sheep and cattle and also to wild animals such as hare and deer. It is important for horse owners and horse pasture owners to recognise and control this potentially fatal plant.

Unfortunately, some horse-keepers do not control ragwort growth and spread as they do not expect their horses to eat the plant and probably don't appreciate the reality of the suffering their animals could be caused. It is true that ragwort does have a bitter taste which often deters horses from eating it. However, if grass becomes sparse (e.g. following a period of hot dry weather) horses may resort to eating plants they wouldn't normally eat, i
It's a strange fact, in our garden I must have 4 to 5 hundred different plants growing, more of them poisonous than not, but when the dogs have an "icky belly" they know instinctively what to eat, and more importantly, what not to eat.
Oregano and Marjoram are their favourites. Are dogs more intelligent than horses?
