For the record, Howard Tillers were designed and built in England, my tiller
has the Royal Seal that says " By Appointment to Her Majesty the Queen.
Manufactures of agricultural equipment Howard Rotavator company Ltd". The
royals don't put their seals on foreign products.
My John Deere tractors are built in Germany just like some Howard tillers but
JD is as American as Howard is English.
I believe the company was named in honor of Sir Albert Howard, the founder of
the organic method and father of sustainable ag...Bob.

I confused foxglove with foxtail in my earlier inquiry. I realize that
foxglove is a very poisonous flower.

So my question is can someone tell me if baby "Foxtail" plants, i.e. 1 to 2
inches tall, are
poisonous to humans?? I have been told by a seed supplier that I have
foxtail seeds mixed in with some other seeds. Up until now it has not been
a problem but with increasing soil temps. the alien seed seems to be
germinating. I tasted some thinking it was some form of grain etc, and I
have not died yet.

thanks in advance,

Van
