Thanks for bringing up the subject; I had been ignorant of the nasty 
stuff. I did a search and from the looks of it I may have some. The 
leaves seem similar to those of walnut sprouts. The flower is similar 
to Queen Anne's Lace, so it's good that the leaves are so different, 
the former like carrots and hemlock like a nut tree sprout.

Roundup! Horrors! For shame! As penance, please explain to the group 
the reason you would never use Roundup but would always seek the 
generic glyphosate.
