Guy Babin: Another tell of spring - emerging Poison Hemlock A reminder to himself and to all: Now, in its emergenent phase, is the time to employ control measures to control Poison Hemlock. Click on headline for complete story with photo(s) of Poison Hemlock as seen in Adair County on February 24, 2018 By Guy Babin The observance of daffodils, lilies, and spring onions aren't the only "tells" of the early spring season. At least in my neck of the creek, the insidious foreign, and poisonous invader Poison Hemlock is also in full spring emergence. Our friend and trusted UK Extension Agent Nick Roy has tried, often in vain, to beat it into my thick skull that the active early growth period is the very best time to control unwanted plants--no matter the species. As the photos, attached, taken this morning show, hemlock is in its early growth stage along the banks of Cool Springs Creek, still clinging low to the ground with brand new leaves. These poison plants will grow very rapidly to heights of over six feet and reproduce. I'm confident right now is the ideal time to employ control measures. I won't recommend any particular spray here however as my GED education does not include a thesis on herbicides - but, I'll bet ya a nickel Nick would. Now is also a perfect time to control the pest as the plants are very easy to spot and easy to get to before all of the rest of the surrounding flora gets into its active growth period. I'll be out there with my spray bottle just as soon as this predicted monsoon passes! Ever vilegent in Gradyville, Paradise, USA, Guy Babin This story was posted on 2018-02-24 13:36:23
