Got rid of cow parsley in my garden. I had made a sustained attack on

As is Garlic Mustard (Jack-by-the-Hedge) but I don't mind that as I can
eat
it when it is young and if it gets big my hens like it.
The leaves are lovely in salads. Mixed in.

I'd love to have Cow Parsley in my garden! It would be gorgeous in some
of the natural areas.

And then it'll seed not only over the parts of your garden where you don't
want it but also over you neighbours' gardens!

You can probably control them in a small garden and the seeds are good food
for birds, but I have a large garden and even all the birds I have can't eat
all the seeds before they germinate.
so it's hacking and slashing..
