    Cow parsley is hairy (very fine, very short, velvet-like hairs, sometimes hard to see but always giving leaf stems and flowering stems a rough feel). Hemlock is entirely free of hairs - they will feel smooth. This is your most useful comparison, but don’t make it the only one!
    Cow parsley has U shaped leaf stems (or more like a D on its side). Hemlock has rounded leaf stems, though these do form sheaths near their base.
    Cow parsley leaf stems and flowering stems tend to be greenish - purple, sometimes entirely purple, but they are NEVER blotchy. Hemlock flowering stems are blotched with purple, though the blotches can be minimal, occasionally absent, especially when young.
    Cow parsley leaves smell of parsley if you crush them in your fingers. Hemlock leaves smell a bit unpleasant - a little acrid/ammoniac (often described as “of mouse pee”, though I doubt many people know the smell of mouse pee nowadays!). Clearly smell is subjective, but it can be a useful part of your ID toolkit given some practice and experience.

    Hi guys, just showed my husband and he says that is definitely hemlock, he is a horticulturalist. He had just looked at the stalks and said yes, that's hemlock and then described leaves and flowers before he even saw them. Hope that helps. There is now way to get rid of it without using chemicals, something called Roundup is the best one, but follow these rules too:How to safely remove Hemlock
    Always wear gloves, mask, and protective clothing when handling the plant.
    Dig out all the plant(s), including the long taproot, (alternatively, glyphosate treatment can be used to eradicate the plant).
    Wash your hands, preferably with soap, after bagging up the plant for removal. BY THE WAY, the Portuguese word for hemlock is CICUTA (see-coo-ta). May be helpful if you need to ask for weed killer for that plant.

      Totally agree just from looking at images on Wikipedia - if there’s a chance of a risk then get the roots out. It’s not worth it.

      Or even better ask the locals if and how they manage the plant. It´s in it´s natural area which is the Med and Europe so it´s no use to throw poison at it. Since it will just come back. There are tons of other plants that are poisonous too and grow all around. This is no problem if you don´t randomly eat them. The kids are old enough not to do that. It´s not something that cats and dogs munch on either i think. Anyway, ask the locals.

      Google Lens will identify plants. The active ingredient in ‘Roundup’ is ‘Glyphosate’. You will find other brands with that name.

      It is indeed hemlock, be very careful handling it with bare hands the sap can get into your skin and make you extremely sick.

    I say NO to using "roundup" on the hemlock, as it causes cancer, and is already found in soils and water sources. I would contact knowledgeable people concerning this.❤

    cow parsley has very fine hairs on the stem, hemlock has no hair. With cow parley, If you cut a stem you will see a slight dip running up through the middle, a bit like celery, also the leaves have a very feint parsley or aniseed like smell to them, whereas hemlock leaves smell kind of mousey or earthy. Hemlock stems are distinctly blotchy whereas cow parsley can have more solid areas of purple / reddishness

    Hi from Portugal! Hemlock is called Cicuta in PT, it is poisonous because it contains conine, which disrupts the central nervous system. It is a native plant, found everywhere in the countryside. My advice is to warn children of its danger and remove it by the roots in the areas close to the house and in the walkway. Despite being poisonous to humans and animals, it is highly appreciated by pollonizers. 🐝

    @knelson5442 25 дней назад +4

    Kayla your opening segue was so honest. But please know there are times that stepping back is actually catching up. The old adage should be two steps back, five forward. Your ability to move forward depends on being able to sustain the effort. You can do that so much easier if the entire family is nurtured in a communal space as large as it is comforting. The barndominium will do that for you. I predict moving into this temporary living space (let’s call it your very own AirBNB or Guest House) will one day be considered the turning point for finishing your forever home. It will have a profound effect, much like your sweet outdoor kitchen did. ❤

    Great job on that 2nd floor. That mushroom at the beginning of the video was quite amazing. Not sure about the hemlock question but you have a digitalis purpea that looks amazing however the leaves are poisonous to human and have cardiac glycosides which may be fatal if ingested. They are also highly toxic for dogs if licked or ingested which can create seizures and abnormal cardiac rhythms. Looks like summer has already arrived there. Enjoy the beautiful weather and have a great week. Saludos from Chile.

    I thought the plant you showed was Queen Anne's Lace but it might be hemlock. This is what I found: "The stems of both poison-hemlock and Queen Anne's lace are hollow, but poison-hemlock will have small purple spots all over its smooth stem and triangular leaves. Queen Anne's lace has no purple spots on its stem and is hairy." Good luck and be careful! Great work you guys.

    Hello lovelies, here in Germany this plant is called meadow hogweed, it is also considered a medicinal plant, WHEN IT IS YOUNG, Young leaves and sprouts are used as wild vegetables, for larger specimens the stem can be peeled, and eaten raw, or made into compote: for older plants, please BE CAREFUL WITH SKIN TOUCH, leads to severe pain, and when exposed to sunlight, it can cause reddening of the skin, burns and allergic reactions!! Please check with the rural population, they will certainly know more about it. So now a lot of strength, perseverance in the further expansion of your houses, it is a pleasure to see you all together, I love both of you humour! Thank you very much for that. MFG EW
