Weeds

 Phinnie and I saw these weeds This morning on our stroll at 6:30.
 Horse nettle—we just called these sticker weeds.  They belong to the night shade family like potatoes, tomatoes, and egg plant.   All parts are poisonous.

 Milk Thistle
Used to treat liver disease.  Called Mary’s Milk Thistle as legend says a drop of Mary’s milk fell on the plant.

 Bitter Weeds
Strong bitter taste and they are poison.  Animals won’t usually eat enough to be harmful because of the bitter taste.
