Now the garden has dried out, and I mean dried(huge cracks on top)
I have had a lawn maintenence firm in to feed and weed the 2
lawns.

He pointed out that in my veg patch there is one area with Mares
Tail and I have not seen that before in my garden. It is right in
the middle of my newly planted runner beans. What to do? Dig them
out and resow the beans?

On the lawns there is Speedwell, again have never seen before but
the lawn weedkiller should eliminate it? I am told it is very
difficult to get shut of.

Anyway, I thought that I would ask here before taking drastic
action regarding Mares Tail.

It's Round Up time! :-)

Our local authority sprays pavements with Round Up to get rid of
Mares Tails.

Ok. Martin will do.
I thought that they were impenetrable because of their waxy leaves.
But still, that is what i'm going to do. I will try and "spot" them
with G.


You have to trample on them preferably with hobnail boots before
spraying


Just ask yourself what Right On Monty would do


Yes, thankyou.

I asked myself and Monty says I should go procreate with myself. I must
admit, that was a bit harsh.
