    This is a great video on identifying the second year plant. I've always been leary about making a possitive id myself. But you broke it down so well I feel way more confident now. Thank you. But what about the first year plants? Do they have the little hairs also? Or is it possible to mistake them for some of the poisonous look alikes?

      Thank you! A lot of the same ID points will apply like smell, shape of the leaves, and little hairs on them. For me, the smell is a key identifier, and the fact that they look just like a carrot that's grown in a garden. I hope that helps.
