Weeds, invasive plants and gardening



Well, I'm learning.  I planted variegated bishop's weed thinking it would be the solution to my weeding problems.  And it is in some places.  What I didn't realize, what how invasive it would be and that I shouldn't put it in areas where I want other things to grow.  So, now I'm removing it and hoping to revamp by garden.  I've been a little rained out this week.  I've also been tackling the spreading lilacs.  I knew buckthorn was a problem but this year, burdock seems to be a problem too.  So hopefully, after all the weed pulling, I'll be able to do some planting. Ironically, I transplanted some Lily of the Valley a couple of years ago and I just found out they're on the invasive list also.  I might be sorry; we'll see.   And hopefully the deer will leave some of my hostas and tiger lilies alone!
