To clarify, when knowone says "that's not a fun time" they don't mean "oh it tastes bad". They mean it's really not a fun time, avoid going anywhere near giant hogweed!

Thanks for clarifying for me. Yeah I should've maybe given a clear do NOT go picking hogweed to eat, or even that near it, unless you're absolutely sure you can identify one from the other. Despite it's name, giant hogweed is very often just as large as the common hogweed surrounding it. It still needs to grow to that size, after all
Apiaceae are generally very hard to tell apart. Sure, the common hogweed is relatively easy to ID if you know the plant well enough. But there are sooo many species in this family that all have small white flowers and similar looking leaves...
