Winter of 2024 has been somewhat of a no-show for Ohio. Mild to almost hot temperatures have been moving things along for spring reactivation of growth and development. Here in NW Ohio, this reactivation or reawakening of biological activity can be easily observed in our winter wheat crop where it has gone from a drab yellow-brown color to a vibrant carpet of deep green color across the fields. But winter wheat isn’t the only plant to brighten up with a fresh deep green coloration, the overwintering rosettes of poison hemlock (Conium maculatum) are also coming back to life.
