    Phytolacca?

    Or of course you could always call that gardener back, point at the plant and say "Oy mate, you didn't do the job properly ... please rectify ... for the price you quoted originally."


    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    Been down that road and he just told me that they had dug it out and it was 'massive'! image

    Doesn't look like Phytolacca Katherine. Think we could be here forever guessing as the pictures are clearly not that great.

    Looking at photos could it be pendulous sedge?

    Could you get a closer picture for us all to see.

    That's a good shout dilly, if it isn't that it's very close!



    The only picture I will be able to get now is of the few sprouts coming through the new turf garden maiden, will see what I can get the weekend but at present it is not that visible.

    Just to amke sure we are talking of the same plant... observe pic of young shoots in the middle. These guys make enormous roots, and it ìs very hard to get them all out. You can dig out huge chunks, and they still pop up next year, as good as new.

    If it's this plant, in the worse case, boil it, change the water a few times, and eat it, lol.
