SRTLL THEERE WAITING FOR UNSUSPECTED PERSON

John Windham wrote Day of the Triffids long ago wen I taught English at Parkdale C. I.  A movie was made as well

I  Wonder if he really knew about the

giant Hogweed?  This invasive plant is hard to get rid of because once it goes to see those

seeds can wait in the ground for 15 years to germinate.

My son’s Giant Hogweed persists even though he tried to remove it clothed head

to foot in protective gear…cut the plants to the roots, poured poison down

the throats of the roots and then wrapped the plants in garbage bags for proper disposal.

I am not sure what he meant by proper disposal.

Lo and behold….the Giant Hogweed came up again this year after a few yeas hiatus.

And this year it was not detected until the flowers became seeds.  Trouble…Trouble…Trouble.

What can be done?
