Just when I thought things were under control. I believe our new pasture is covered with this niteshade plant. Where can I find a photo of it to be sure??????? I looked on the web but I think I looked in the wronge place because most of what I came up with was how make spells for one thing or another. NOT WHAT I WANTED. I did find one picture of the black niteshade plant but it was done with a digetal camera and wasn't very good. The plants we have have star shaped light almost white flowers with a yellow center (several small yellow things pointing out really) the stems are not woody but are very poky and have thorns on them as do the leaves. The berries are green they almost look striated like a watermellon will, I think they dry yellow, turn black then fall off. I have taken a photo but do not know how to post to the group, only how to send through my yahoo account to another person. Can I just email it to Goatworld so somebody can look at it?? We are planning on finishing the field this month and moving the sheep and goats out there. This would not be a good thing to do if it will kill them all. Thanks
