I like talking to the person, you can get a better feel for what they are saying by the tone of there voice.
The same plant that's in my pics. Nasty stuff.
That's what neighbors are supposed to do. I snowblow three driveways when it comes down thick - next door, and across the street. Earlier this spring the next door neighbors were borrowing our mower until they could rebuild the carb on theirs. They put gas in ours when they borrowed it, and then mowed ours when we were out of town for a weekend.
I had never known any of this nor paid any attention but after seeing these pictures and driving into work this morning I'm pretty sure I saw two of these near Oswego...looked the same and had to be near 10 feet tall...
Drive down Hughes Rd dude, It's everywhere. DEC sprayed it a couple years ago but it is back in full force. It's on both sides of the road at the bottom of my mother's driveway. Cheeks out!!!
