    Ha!   Hosta, you need to come and talk to our bindweed!   I've sprayed the stuff coming up through the chipped bark pile twice and it's still green and flowering tho a teen y bit crisp at the edges.  I've sprayed it in the area we've cleared to prepare for laying a small terrace with slabs - growing back.  We have it all over the grass and in the potager and it doesn't die form spraying or being deep dug.  Just comes back.  Lifetime of bindweed coming up.   The only up side is this version has lovely deep pinky crimosn buds before the flowers open, smaller than the stuff in Belgium in both leaf and flower but not in persistence.

    Hi @Obelixx IMHO it's the only way. 
    To redress the niceness shown above, I'm very , very grumpy this morning. 
    I removed 18 trees yesterday, had hardly any sleep last night and this morning I ache all over.

    Hot bath and sunbathing then today with a bit of light exercise to stop you seizing up.

  • Thanks for answering my SLS query. At the moment I am alternating between Simple and Johnson's baby shampoo which seems to work but will look into making my own again, used to be an aromatherapist.

    @Joyce Goldenlily I got mixed up and thought it was PF needing SLS free shampoo, but it's you. I can send you some (too) if you'd like.

    I can't even do that. It's cloudy here with a tiny chance of a shower!!
    I'm supposed to be going to see a friend's garden this morning so I'd best cheer myself up and get on with it
