narnia Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 If any of you managed to get hold of some of the seeds Countryfile was giving away, please be aware that the packs contained CORNCOCKLE seeds, which can be potentially fatal ( if eaten) they produce wheezing, sickness, diarrhoea etc and even a small amount is enough to kill a horse, apparantly. I have just googled corncockle and it seems that this is true. So, if you got them, I guess you'll need to watch out for them and decide what action to take. Thankfully, we didn't manage to get any. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
