From Lepella, to All Salvete! Someone asked 'why put poisonous oleander in a garden?'. I grew up in California, where it was planted extensively along roads...
Probably the drought tolerance had something to do with it. A bush in a public garden that does not require water in the summer months has its advantages....
Ricinus communis is usually called the "Caster Oil Plant" in English--Somewhat odd that the oil has the primary name, not the plant. When European explorers...
Oh, so that is what Caster oil is. Olio di ricino. The seed, as big as a bean, is very toxic, causing blisters and swelling. Maybe that's the effect that...
Oh yes, this is a bit OT, but I grew up with stories of olio di ricino, by the quart, forced on dissidents. The film Amarcord as a clip of it. So, about...

In my humble opinion, when we do not know the size of the garlic head, or clove(?), beside the learned research which one likes for its own sake, it's all...
Since the standardized growing of the garlic cultivar is rather new, at least in the high production seen today, your point is well taken. It is dificult to...
