Ima, I'm posting from a forum and not usenet, so I don't know if I've cut and pasted this correctly. Hope so. Anyway, I should have stated that the seed heads would drop the seeds on the ground for new plants to sprout, but you probably already know that. Anyway, you could just cut the stalks near or to the ground for now and wait until plants in your garden begin to sprout before you dig it up and disturb the soil around it to look for new sprouts.
