The ones that got away

We have been busy controlling giant hogweed at several sites but overlooked a fairly big stand on the Longman landfill site.

Dressing up in full PPE was no fun on a hot day, and after cutting a few flowerheads, we decided to spray smaller plants around the edge of the colony, and come back next spring to deal with plants when they are a more manageable size.  Caution is the better part of valour.
