[snip] Having read all the stuff about the unintentional spread of GM plants, and seen giant hog weed growing along miles of grass verges, how can you be careful not to let it escape? Why does it appear some years and not others? I have sincere doubts if you have ever "seen giant hogweed growing along miles of grass verges". because? Because it sounds highly unlikely to me. I have, since I made my original remark, seen you say that you see the phenomenon in Holland. I still have my doubts whether there is such a vast infestation of giant hogweed in Holland. I have a suspicion that you are talking about Hogweed (Heracleum sphondylium) and not Giant Hogweed (Heracleum mantegazzianum. The former grows up to 3 metres and the latter grows up to 5 metres according to my book. I am also now pretty certain that the weed in my garden, which I earlier referred to as "Giant Hogweed" is in fact sinply "Hogweed". and does it cause blisters? It did, on my wife's skin, but not on mine. Franz |
