Pokeweed...

The City of Portland is warning residents about a poisonous weed invading Portland...

Mom saw the news report a few days ago and we looked it up on line an talked about it.

Neither of us had heard or seen it before.

Today, while walking to the market with Huck, came across this beautiful speciman just up the block from Todd's. Most people have no idea what it is, as did the homeowner's as they trimmed and dug to try to remove it.I was able to pass along information about disposal (not in yard debris bucket) and how to contact Environmental Services.
