You'll never guess the gosh-aweful thing I found in my garden today while moving Peonies..... BELLADONNA {evil laugh breaks out from ceiling}

For those of you who aren't petrified with fear of the concept, Belladonna (Atropos belladonna) is the DEADLIEST plant in the Western Hemisphere, and a very closely related to the potato (Atropos solanum). I wasn't going to do this, but I must unleash Polaris upon it. Goodbye, friends. I am off to blow a gaping crater in the ground, thereby saving the world from this menace...


:yuckyuck

Well, I uh, well..... Okay, does anyone know how long Nuclear Winters last? If it helps, the Nuclear Winter set in on my garden is about 600 sq. ft.


Other than that, it was pretty cool to see moles blown 30 ft. in the air straight out of there holes. Fellows, I'm glad I live in a country that has this kind of technology. :cool:

Hey Det, belladonna is also a proven medicinal herb. It is prescribed even by western doctors. My mom takes it for calming stomach muscles (or something) So now you have blown up an important medicine. Shame!!!

Deadly nightshade is all over our property, along with Datura and a couple other poisonous plants. I can't even imagine trying to get rid of it all.
