In this episode we follow up with a Chicago lawn kill that Al and I did 3 years ago, where the homeowner recently burned last April. As expected, the burn led to some especially robust growth this year in all of the herbaceous perennials.

Whether it's travel expenses, vehicle repair, or medical costs for urushiol poisoning (or rockfalls, bee-stings, hand slices, toxic sap, etc), your financial support allows this content to continue so the beauty of Earth's flora can be made accessible to the public, accompanied by a small dose of profanity and crude humor. At a time when so much is disappearing beneath the human footprint, CPBBD is willing to do whatever it takes to document these plant species and the ecological communities they are a part of before they're gone for good.
