A "nice" patch of poison hemlock standing 6-9 feet tall. Some people react to skin contact with it. It's quite dangerous for some herbivores and can pretty easily kill a cow or horse. Also not safe for human consumption. I've never used weed killer on this property, but this one actually had me thinking about it. There is a lot less of it this year than the last couple years.

I dont think i have any of that on our property, but i did get into some poison ivy once, and i suffered for about 6 wks.

We have that too. I'm not entirely sure if I'm still sensitive to it or not but I don't know that I have reacted to it since I was a kid. Or maybe I'm just really good at avoiding it. Idk

Probably some good soil there. I’ve pulled a few and scythed down more. They like lots of water and always seem to have a lot of worms around their roots.

Yes, around here you see a lot around old dairies. We had a dairy up the hill from us until recently which is the principal source. Where that is growing is some of the best soil on the property which, granted, isn't saying a whole lot. Lol
