Yes, I know. Eggplant, peppers, potatoes also, but they seemed less reluctant about some of those (at least the potato). We have several very attractive members of the nightshade family around here. My garden is filled with most of the above named crops every summer.
When I was a kid, I remember my brother coming home and telling my mother that he'd seen a big patch of deadly nightshade in the park near a little zoo. She called the park department and suggested they remove it because it was too near where small children would travel. Nothing happened, it stayed there, until there was a news story about a child somewhere else in town getting nightshade and nearly dying. Next day the park patch was history. But it is a beautiful plant. Solanacea family.
