At one time we only had to worry about the animals. Now the plants are attacking us. I'm linking to Lesley's Signs, Signs.

  2. Also in the netherlands you find these plants in the wild and sometimes, especially in case of the hogweed, they are removed but I have never seen a road shut down for it.

  4. We have the giant hogweed here too, they multiply very speedy. The municipality is trying to stop them from taking over the vegetation.

  10. Poison ivy? Really? So you scratch for a few days, that worthy of a sign?

  11. Not a good news for veggie enthusiasts and for the naturalists who like spending time and experimenting with those greens. I know someone who eats some leaves along the way while hiking or trekking.

  15. I am highly allergic to poison ivy. I'm so glad it isn't found here in Europe!

  16. Would this area be closed for a long time for eradication or just until the plants die down for the winter.

  17. Yes, I would avoid areas with poison ivy. It is nasty stuff, but I've never had any problem with cow parsnips. Understand the sap of hogweed causes skin to blister. Interesting sign.

  18. I'm interested in the scale of these weeds - not sure I've seen such a giant sized hogweed, but good to know how big it can get!!
