Foxglove

[Jaimsieboy]

A large Foxglove plant has suddenly appeared in my garden.
I read they are poisonous... does anybody know how to safely remove them and would I need to wear any special equipment like goggles or a visor when doing so.

As long as you leave it alone it will be fine, just dont eat it!

[Prudie]

Only poionous if you eat them. They're beautiful, leave it where it is.

I have a garden full of them - they are lovely - just leave them alone.

[Tilly2]

No, just pull it up. Or leave it. The bees like them and they are lovely flowers.

Beautiful plant much loved by bees and insects. Count yourself lucky to have it. It will self seed and you will get more in the years to come if you leave it. Enjoy it.

If we'd played our card right, we could have made the OP wear one of these to dig it up.
