It runs all the way down, flanking both sides. I pretend it's a moat for protection. So lush in some places it's difficult to not touch with your car as you drive along.

My dumb ass wouldn't have known that was poison ivy and would definitely have brushed up against it. You wouldn't think poison ivy would be so close and abundant next to a road.

"Leaves of three, let them be." But I'm much more used to seeing poison oak than ivy, so my stupid ass stands a chance as well. The worst in my opinion is poison sumac, because I'd never seen it in my life before moving 5 whole hours north and it looked to me like a regular old fern-like plant.

It was not. What it was was all over my whole face.

Oh nooo!! Rip you.

I don't know anything about plants tbh lol I guess it's good I don't go outside

That sucks. Usually poison sumac only grows in very wet areas. I had a dendrology professor who said (paraphrasing) "you'll know if it's poison sumac if your feet are wet". Biology never follows rules though, so who knows.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
