Got rid of cow parsley in my garden. I had made a sustained attack on
it
last year. But no. It's popping up all over now.
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!

some years ago I wanted some wild garlic and a nice person on the group sent
me some with the provision that it was not his fault if it took over my
garden.
It hasn't yet.
But cow parsley will. If you don't attack it at this stage it will be 5
feet high later
