The most dreaded weed of all, for me - I'm terribly allergic to poison ivy, and three weeks of misery is my lot if I get a good case. Luckily, it's not rampant in our garden - about a half-dozen times a year, I'll find a plant (usually a small one, sometimes a bit larger like the one pictured) in one of our garden areas, and carefully remove it. This is just about the only garden waste that goes into the trash instead of the compost.
