Thanks Arlene, I use a brush killer on poison ivy when I see it, but am not sure what kind I use at the moment. The problem is I never know where it will crop up. I have had it growing right next to some irises, but won't know that I've touched it until after I've pulled out some weeds.
Debra, I have used the paint brush technique before on some crabgrass before and it works great.
Caroline, I wholeheartedly agree that a "fake spring" is frustrating! I would have to say that is right up there with dealing with poison ivy as one of my biggest complaints
