Getting started on the tort yard.

[pugsandkids]

Hypericum perforatum, or St. Johns Wort. I can't find it on the edible, nor the toxic list for Russians. It grows in the shady area I wanted to use for the yard...Any thoughts?


I'm supposed to meet with this CL lady tomorrow. Whether or not it happens, I still need a tort yard set up

This site is a little hard to understand, but I'm thinkin' is says "no" to all the poison questions about halfway down the page:

Well, this is what it says...Thanks Yvonne. Could it be fine for some and bad for others?

Adverse factors
Common pests Poisonous parts Poisonous indications Internal poison no Dermatologic poison no Livestock poison no Mechanical injury no Hay fever pollen Hay fever season Adverse qualities

Any other thoughts? I'd like more confirmation that its okay.

I'm thinking it says NO after common pests, poisonous parts, poisonous indications, internal poison NO

Then it lists derm poison NO then livestock poison no

see what I'm saying? It says "no" after all the lists.

Right, I see that part. I guess what I want to know is, would you use it in a tort yard based on the above information?

I wouldn't purposely plant it, but if it was already growing there I wouldn't worry about digging it out.

Perfect! Thank you, now I can plant the other seeds and really get this going.

We'll know by 9am tomorrow if this lady comes through for me. Cross your fingers please.

Thanks Terry, I picked up a Russian. I'd been emailing back and forth with this woman for a while. Your good wishes seemed to have helped. She finally showed! There are some pics here...http://tortoiseforum.org/thread-17075.html
