OK - looks like I'm in for the hard slog. Arrrgh!

We had them all over our yard. I dug them up and planted asparagus in
the midsts of where they had been. I just pull off the leaves when I see
one and have the time. I don't use herbicides. They don't grow that
fast. If you can get the whole root, that'll end of the problem. We're
growing dwarf citrus where one stand of them used to be. It's all
cleared out except one that has found a difficult place to get at
between the slabs of concrete that make the stairs down to the house
from the road. I transplanted a half dozen of them along the fence
facing the street. They are very low maintenance, and they are slowly
replacing the ivy that was there.

Why are you in such a rush to replace them? How many are there? They are
basically a winter plant here. Soon they will bloom, and then they will
die back.

Sounds like you are getting worked up over nothing, but then I don't
know what your problem is.

America is not broke. The country is awash in wealth and cash.
It's just that it's not in your hands. It has been transferred, in the
greatest heist in history, from the workers and consumers to the banks
and the portfolios of the uber-rich.
