If you work outside pretty much anywhere in the eastern and central part of the United States—you may come hand-to-leaf with the dreaded poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans). The only challenge, however, is accurately identifying it because there are A LOT of poison ivy lookalikes—and you don't want to be pulling out a perfectly good plant that is harmless.

I decided to do this Vlog episode largely because I had quite a few poison ivy lookalikes growing right next to one another in the community garden. So I hope you find this useful!
