Question
This plant or weed has been taking over our backyard. Very very slowly but each year it's a bit more. I have two small children and want to make sure it's not poisonous. We live in Nebraska.
Answer
Dear dsullsperger, the plant you are interested in is Perilla frutescens (perilla-mint), a species in the mint family. It is a cultivated crop in parts of Asia. Best wishes.
