Let's eat, Grandma!

Back when I had a flock, I never had them mess with established plants. The bastards would walk down a freshly planted row and scratch/dig up every damned seed I'd planted, but if I could keep 'em out of the garden 'til the plants were a few inches tall, they'd leave 'em alone. The woodchucks liked 'em when they were short.

I've never had any, but I understand they'll eat ANYTHING.

The sad, true story of Mike, The Headless Chicken. Happy Halloween! DoooWeeeOooo

But correct me if I am wrong, that particular sumac plant is not of the poisonous variety , correct? I have them where I am and I thought to myself.............Self what a lovely flower that would be in a vase. I had to research it of course.

The poisonous kind is mainly found in Europe. <-- They call it belladona. There is some in the US, and while I know what it looks like, I have never seen any in my whole life. You could NEVER mistake sumac for poison sumac. Even stoned. ;-)

Here's some... The only thing with any resemblence is the fargin name.

I know for a fact, that Poison Sumac was and still is on long Island, I was doing a job when I was 19 clearing some woods and cut 3 trees down with a chainsaw , I was sweating and touching the plants all around in a swampy area, stuff was all over my arms and my face and arms, and the next day I was in the ER.
Had it so badly my eyes were almost swollen shut. The only way I finally got rid of it on my arms is way I was climbing a creosote soak telephone pole and my climbing hooks slipped and I grab on the the pole from 20ft up instead of kicking off to avoid dying from a giant splinter (another story)
The wood where all the hooks had climbed that pole ripped my forearms to shreds. That finally allowed the poison to dry up and out. I have always been deathly allergic to it since.

Walt is correct sumac does not normally grow in northeast but in some swampy wet area it does.

I don't know what flavor of sumac I've got here, so I'm not making any drinks outta it for sure!

I'm multitasking. I'm scratching a cat with my left hand and scratching a dog with my right. I'll leave what I'm typing with to your imaginations.....

What would happen with a lot of schools they want a big company.
As you said many were a holes and charged the crap out of them .
Thats why my Brother has been doing the university with their 20 kitchens and schools for over 30 years
And kitchen stuff changes with much added electronics,

Yeah Electronics in cooking equipment. Handy but not the nest idea. Not when they don't protect the Electronics from the heat. I had to replace so many $1200 circuit boards in their new fancy hot cases after 1 to 2 years of use. SMART....

Hell of a way to clear something up. That sounds like a very painful treatment...

It felt so good when it ripped it open''
It dried out in a few days afterwards
Might have been the creosote
