They are pretty but there is enough of it in the wild for me not to want it anywhere near my garden 😉😂

😱 This is the one thing I will resort to chemicals for. What do you do Carol? I train it up a cane then spray a cloth with round up and wipe it up and down the the cane. Works wonders and doesn’t kill anything else @karlpape007

Hubby pulls it out, I tend to spray to the very young re growth with strong concentrate round up if its not to close to other plants have been known to sneak in to neighbours which is just slate and spray from there side too @awomanonabike @karlpape007

@awomanonabike @carolgs Thanks for the tips!! I look after other people’s gardens where it’s out of control. I couldn’t believe it when I saw it starting in mine!😫

I like the idea of you sneaking around with your round up weed gun Carol 😎😂😂 I’m sure it’s the birds that have brought it to me Karl. Impossible to dig up IMHO as the roots are sooooo brittle @karlpape007

I just found some in my summer bed. Pulled it right out and made a mental note to go rummage through looking for more at the weekend 😲
