Perhaps they should declare a war on it. That’ll stop it!

Giant Hogweed Scare—here we go again. Every day it seems to become yet more the 70’s all over again.

Personally...I think we need to send them tons of Miracle Grow
Apparently, Giant Hogweed (Heracleum mantegazzianum) is a very dangerous plant and its sap can cause severe skin burns even from brushing against the plant. It's both invasive and it grows aggressively. More information about this plant that came originally from Europe can be found at Ontario Weeds along with other pictures.

Here’s the cure: http://www.eweedcontrol.com/images/BIG-Weed-Dragon-Back-Pack.jpg
I’ve got one of these badboys and they do the job. The main trick in most noxious weed control is to get the whole plant. Failing that, trash the sucker when it is getting ready to flower (consuming all the plant’s energy reserves). Most of the time, it’ll give up the ghost if you get it at that point in its life cycle.

That looks like a “Triffid” to me. Anybody remember a green meteor shower?

Bloomie will blame it on weak weed control in other states.
