Re: Hogweed
Thanks a lot I will tell my brother to tell his neighbor as my brother broke out in a bad rash from it.He was going to call the natural resources and get his neighbor to remove.it. I haven't heard yet.His neighbor needs someone to call them as their grass is about 4 feet tall and they haven't cut it all summer.I am not knocking the Chinese people but they are his neighbors .Maybe they don't believe in cutting the lawn who knows.
Re: Hogweed
Hogweed is indigenous to central Asia. China is part of central Asia. Maybe it makes the neighbors feel at home.

Re: Hogweed
It must cause the people haven't cut their lawn yet.The town went after them this week and told them to cut it or else which is a good thing.govgirl75 wrote:Hogweed is indigenous to central Asia. China is part of central Asia. Maybe it makes the neighbors feel at home.

Re: Hogweed
Weird, the Chines people here nearly keep everything so neet. They have a passion for pinkish concrete stones, but that just about taste
We still have a giant hogweed problem here, but it is going down. When I was a kid in the 60' the dried flowers was a hit. Placed on the wall and brought home from the wild on top of the car
Did they spread
Our name is bearclow
