Do you know which of them is poisonous? (Trick question - they are both poisonous!) And can you tell the difference between the two bryonies and the nightshade which is also commonly found climbing in hedgerows?
What about the Nightshade family - one of them is edible, but the rest are toxic, can you tell the difference?
All these questions and more are answered in the Field Guide to identifying Bryony and Nightshades in the UK, available on Kindle from Amazon.
It's FREE this weekend, Sat/Sun 6th and 7th June,so download it for free: and don't worry if you don't have a Kindle, it will work on any tablet, and if you don't have a tablet, you can download it to your PC, so there is no excuse!
Amazon generously provide a free programme, or "app" to allow you to view Kindle ebooks on your pc, it's very easy to install it, and then you can read not just this one, but any of the other Field Guides which I have published.
There are more than a dozen of them already out there, and I am working through the others - 57 at the last count, and the list keeps on expanding - as and when I get the time.
If you have Kindle Unlimited, you can download all of them for free, every single one: but if not, try this one as a taster and see what you think.
And if you like it (which I hope you will) and find it useful (which I am sure you will) then do please leave a review.
To find it, click on the link above, or go to the Amazon Kindle store and type in Field Guide UK to see the current list.
As I have said before, these Cribs are for Beginners, and Improvers. They only cover commonly found species, and they cannot replace a proper Field Guide such as Poland or Rose: they are intended to be an easy-access, non-off-putting way to present the salient information in an easy-to-read format, to people who have gone beyond having to key out every single plant, and who are trying to learn the difference between species.
So get out there this weekend, and check out your local hedgerows!
