Save the Date: 2024 Total Solar Eclipse

On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will travel through Mexico, cross the United States from Texas to Maine, and exit North America along Canada’s Atlantic coast. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, completely blocking the face of the Sun. The sky will darken as if it were dawn or dusk.

Weather permitting, people throughout most of North and Central America, including all of the contiguous United States, will be able to view at least a partial solar eclipse. A partial solar eclipse is when the Moon only covers part of the Sun. People in Hawaii and parts of Alaska will also experience a partial solar eclipse. Click here to learn more about when and where the solar eclipse will be visible: go.nasa.gov/Eclipse2024Map

🪴 18 Poisonous Plants and Flowers 🪴 Some wild plants pose a hidden danger. Stay away to avoid illness or even death. By Bryan 🪴 Nelson August 4, 2022

Over the past millennia, people have learned through trial and error which plants are good to eat and which are best to avoid. In our modern, urban world, much of that cultural knowledge has been forgotten. Many gardeners may be surprised to discover that they are growing some of the world's deadliest plants in their own backyards. Here are several plants with lethal tendencies.

Plants that could kill you

🍎 🍏 Apples

An apple a day might keep the doctor away, but the same can't be said for apple seeds. The seeds contain cyanogenic glycosides, making them mildly poisonous.1 If you consume enough of the seeds, by chewing, mashing, or breaking them apart in some way, you could ingest a fatal dose. But that's a lot of apples. Although the number of seeds varies from apple to apple, as does the exact amount of cyanide-releasing glycosides, the adult of average weight would need to finely chew and eat about 222 apple seeds, or about 26 apple cores, to receive a fatal dose. Much less would be harmful to children.2 According to one study, seeds of Golden Delicious apple varieties contain more cyanide-releasing glycosides than other types.3 But no matter the variety, whether you cut up apples for your children or eat them whole, be sure to remove the seeds to be on the safe side.

Daffodils

Prized for their beauty, daffodils grow from bulbs that could be mistaken for an edible food, like an onion. Daffodils—also known by their genus name Narcissus—are common ornamental plants with a bright, cheery flower. Most daffodils are deer- and vermin-resistant,11 but gardeners shouldn't overlook the dark side of this plant. All parts of the daffodil contain a toxin called lycorine. The most poisonous part of the plant is the bulb, as it has the highest concentration of lycorine, but eating any part of a daffodil can cause nausea, vomiting, and other symptoms. The Greek philosopher Socrates sometimes referred to daffodils as the "Chaplet of the infernal Gods" because of the plant's numbing effect.

Pet-Friendly Plants!

Plants can really liven up a space, but some varieties can make pets seriously sick, making it difficult to know which plants you can bring home without worry. That’s why the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (APCC) has put together a handy list of 11 common houseplants that are pet-friendly for your home and yard.

🌿🐈🪴🐕

Because even “safe” plants can cause stomach issues if the animal is sensitive or just eats too much (And who wants a chewed-up plant on display?), try regularly spraying the plant with Grannick’s Bitter Apple, lemon juice diluted with water, or diluted Tabasco sauce. If you’re lucky, your pet will be repelled by the scent or taste and leave it alone.
