I once read but don't believe some Europeans imported and planted poison ivy in their gardens. It was planted for bright red fall color.

I do not know about poison ivy. But plants can change the properties depending on where they grow.
Toxicity of different plants may vary depending on the position in the geographical area of the form, and the nature of the soil habitat, the climatic conditions.
For example, a deadly poisonous plant as Verátrum, in some regions of Armenia and Altai is a good animal feed, and in the southern part of the Tomsk region it contains 1/3 less alkaloids than in the north.

This year summer heat came only in August. Vegetables began to grow together, so I managed to make canned cucumbers, tomatoes and various vegetable salads.
Even the water in the river was warm.

The snakes also rejoiced and crawled out of the woods to my house. To bask in the sun. They were everywhere, on roads, on wood, on compost and in grass. Fortunately, they are not poisonous.

Then the moles came.
I prepared a place for a new greenhouse. I would be very grateful for them to dig there. But they stubbornly walked to my flower bed. So I caught them and carried them to the forest.
