I appreciate this post, Richard. Very informative. I am doing my part in St-Euatache and really enjoying learning about all the "new" garden arrivals now we have foresaken the mower (much to the bemusement of neighbours and by-passers!) The garden is full of milkweed and what looks like strawberries but they are something different... maybe you know what crawling plant I am talking about?

Would your plant be this?

Yes that's it! Really pretty berries...they look tempting but I will leave them for the beasties!
They are harmless, but I remember trying one and it really had no flavour at all.
well that's disappointing - they look so much like those little strawberry candies!
