  Lord, yes.
  
  If you value your sanity, don’t let it grow in your garden. Each plant will release a million seeds and each seed will grow into a fine healthy plant which will, in its turn, produce a million seeds.
  
  
  

  It's okay. It's from the hedgerow and nowhere near the garden. Thanks for the tip.

  I don’t find it a problem ... it stays in its corner ... the orange tip caterpillars need it and we’ve seen so many orange top butterflies here this spring ... I’m glad we’ve got a small patch of Jack by the Hedge in the corner behind the pond. Seedlings are easy enough to weed out if they appear where they’re not wanted. 😊

  It’s not been that adventurous here ... so far 🤞
