Hell.......after reading this thread I shudder with nervous anticipation to the responses I'll probably receive upon informing you all that I have a large patch of Deadly Nightshade (Atropa bella-donna) at the end of my garden in the fernery .
Not to everyones taste (excuse the pun) ; I just like the flowers and the plants historical connections . A good 'bee-plant' too !
We live in a child-free zone so poses no threat ; it is non-invasive so doesn't threaten other plants by smothering them out .
Have been battling Mares Tail for most of the day ; think I prefer that to JKW !
One would have to be retarded to contemplate growing that .
Would all female members of this forum please accept my heartfelt apology on behalf of the male members ; most of us have a modicum of decency and respect to others , thus preventing the posting of insulting comments .

@Paul B3 Atropa belladonna is beautiful and would be welcome in my childfree garden should she care to visit, but then I’m a huge fan of Arum maculatum and Hyoscyamus niger too 😊
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
No need to apologise Paul. It's the usual state of the minority, not the majority, causing an issue. There's been plenty of female WUMs and baiters too, so it's not gender specific
There are plants which I would describe as a nuisance in some gardens [many already mentioned] but they're mere pretenders to the crown compared to the ponticum/balsam/ knotweed invaders.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

I have rarely come across anyone with so little self awareness, and to think you call me rude.

I'm not being drawn into an argument. I have better things to do
