    I wouldn't worry about it either. I love seeing cow parsley and then hogweed in all the verges and field boundaries in late spring into summer.
    Our area is just about to be covered in those white 'umbrellas'. Gorgeous.  :)

    Giant hogweed is another matter entirely. 
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    I like hogweed but often find I have to remove it, as it chooses places where it is far too big to leave. Last year one grew in a spot where there was room and I left it to grow. It made a very handsome addition to the area, providing interest and stature.
