The "tall weed with lacy flowers" is the dreaded ground elder. I too gained a beautiful garden when we moved last year, also full of the same weeds. Ground elder is the worst. I just keep digging it out and then spraying the regrowth with Roundup where I can. When it's really mixed up with perennials, I have dug them up and then dug out the ground elder. In some places I've just bitten the bullet and sprayed it even if some goes on things I don't want to lose, as long as I have convinced myself that there is some more elsewhere in the garden and/or I can live without it.

New house, new garden, new problems.

Lovely herbaceous border, lots of nice plants etc.

Full of bindweed, creeping buttercup and a tall weed with white 'lacy'
flowers?

I rewally don't have space to lift the plants and deal with an 'empty'
flowerbed. Am pulling as much as I can find by hand and planted in some
canes for the stuff to wrap itself round.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks
