    Default how toxic is rhubarb?

    I can't have toxic plants in the childcare area but really some they do not say much like tomato plants. the daffodils they would need to eat the bulb.

    I know you can not eat the leaves but is it real bad like castor beans or mild like tomato plants

    I would really like to put some plants in the back yard where the childcare children play instead of the front yard.

    You'd have to eat a LOT of the leaves to get sick - and they taste AWFUL!!!

    Don't know about the taste...........it is poisonous and my ex left before I could get him to eat any!!

    (sorry ----couldn't resist!!)

    My friends gag when I eat the stocks raw.........it is REALLY sour.

    Couldn't you put it in some 'far back' corner? Maybe with a little fence around it? Make a fence out of the green netting and rebar---just weave it through the netting.
