The weeds that I battle with in my garden are:

Japanese knotwood- this one is horrible, it gets everywhere, it strangles eveyrhting! It grows out of my lawn and wraps itself around my seedlings!!


Sticky weed- Again horrible, not as muchof a ke the knotwood but still gets in everwhere and when you try to remove it, it sticks to your clothes etc!!

Last but definately not least is the Stingy Nettles- worse of the lot because you can't just pull it up, it has the most enormous rootss going on and like its namesake...stings! Ouch!

The japanese knotweed is famous for strangling and suffocating many plants in uk.. I have not seen it in my garden anywhere at the moment though :cigar2:

its the stinging nettles that i dont like although i do admire the defence mechanism lol

the back end of my garden is just growing with dandelions and now they have floated in other pots and are beginning to germinate too... :eek:

so many dandelions are floating everywhere, i have them in most pots too and they have germinated in the pots, so now i dunno which are the tiny flower seedlings that are emerging or are they the dandelion seedlings LOL
