I think that the mighty weed that I’ve allowed to grow may be poison hemlock…um…whoops.
Poison Hemlock?
I thought it was interesting, it was growing so fast, a dainty giant. Now I have to think of a safe way to eliminate the thing. Geeze.

I found a good fact sheet on Poison Hemlock:

and also:

I’ve discovered that it is not a native plant, which should make it easier to pull the plug on this “weed”, at the same time that I’ve learned that it attracts the black swallowtail, which would be cool to see.
But fear not, it will be gone before it goes to seed, maybe even today.
