I thought a garden chat and photo thread would be a good idea.
This way, we have a space to share current pictures and discuss dandelions and other plants.

Maybe take the little one away from the dust next time.
Not only bakers and miners suffer from dust-related lung diseases.

Goodness, he’s not standing there for years breathing in dust. This is one of those rare situations – it won’t do any harm at all!

I grew up around farming, and things like this were always taken seriously. But of course, everyone makes their own decisions.

Agriculture produces more fine dust in Germany than car traffic, and everyone complains when a monitoring station detects it. To each their own.
There’s a reason why the farmer’s house usually isn’t right next to the plowed field, but rather next to the pasture ;-)

That doesn’t change the fact that distinctions should be made between one-time events, frequency, and permanence. Smoking a single cigarette in a lifetime hasn’t caused lung cancer. You have to be exposed many times over the course of life.

True, the dose makes the poison. But it’s also easy to just take a few steps back.

No type is specified. Just Candelabra Speedwell.
It has to taste good.

Isn't Speedwell poisonous? 😱 Or???
