Bishop’s Herb Ammi Majus

I recently noticed what looked like a Queen Anne's lace in my yard, in my driveway. But this is May in New York Queen Anne's lace aren't out in May so I was wondering what it was. I actually looked at the leaves and they looked ferny kinda like dill so I tasted some. then when my daughter came over, she told me there is
a poisonous weed that looks like Queen Anne's lace. The poisonous weed looks like Queen Anne's lace has red or purple on its stems so I'm confident that what I tasted was not the poisonous weed. It is a little risky to just taste random weed in the yard so I got a little paranoid. Luckily it was not hemlock. Even a small bite of poisonous hemlock can hurt you really badly. But what we did look up was this Ammi majus herb (weed)which is kind of funny because my name is Amy. It is used in herbal medicine. i'm loving towards plants so it's hard for me to kill even the ones that like to pop up in the wrong places.
