So I’ve had a few minor run ins with poison ivy this summer and one major one.  I just didn’t know where I was getting it from.  I’d killed all the vines I’d found in the yard last year.  I made a round this summer and did find a few new sprouts and killed them with round-up.  Then I cleaned the house like crazy and got the poison ivy two times more.

Finally, I scoured the yard again and realized that the poison ivy I’d been fighting was peanuts compared to the whopper vines I had in the yard.  These suckers were so big that I had to use a branch trimmer and a bow saw to kill them!

Anyhow, here are a few pics.  Because everything is better with pics.
