Was given some chinese gooseberries ( to eat) as a present. Didn't see much in them. Put them out for the birds when guest had left. Aaaaaagh!,,,, Almost as bad as mare's tail.
Hi all. Just a small deviation here from all this very serious stuff. According to my missus ( who has her own ideas about gardening) this plant is just about the biggest menace of the lot. Name is Keeny officinalis var. " Pestifero" ( amongst others depending on her mood.
Two of my customers have Russian vine (or had, until I took them out). Chinese gooseberries - mine is well contained in a big pot! Campanula..., lysimachia punctata, lily of the valley and aquilegias seed themselves all over the place.
Hi Salino - all.. Yer I know I am not the prettiest of plants. Ref that hat the badge on it is very very special to me - you I think amongst others will not know it and I will not explain . This is one of the things which troubles me about some PC sites - one talks to people but has no idea of what those talked to look like. Well now you all know me for what its worth. Is there any way if desired members here can contact each other off site if they would like too?.
I am done for today now but tomorrow all being well I will talk of a very humble but lovely ( to me ) plant which can be a real PITA. Probably one of the most beautiful though simple amongst all those I have grown over the years.
Ref Ground Elder well this has been/is a menace to many many folk everywhere and is probably impossible to irredicate - you tell me - have a good day.
..oh, that's why I said it's a nice hat... the insignia caught my eye... perhaps you'll tell us what it means, at some point... but no bother if you'd rather not...

Hi all. Ref the Physostegia being a coarse common shocking pink old thing -- come to think of it so am I at times - don't you dare.
I was only doing the seed weeds. And been out gardening since and though of a lot more too!
We have four types of plants here, in order of frequency, thugs, dying, dead and desirable!
