I find that lawn grass is the worst, followed by hairy
bittercress, though the bulk of my weeds were chickweed, spurges
and shepherd' purse.
I think we could start a new thread on who has which weed!
In my vegetable area the most abundant weeds are Herb Robert, dog
violet, alpine strawberry and enchanter's nightshade.
Alpine strawberries aren't a weed are they?
I think herb robert is liked by the bees.
I don't have any shepherd's purse at all, though I do have hairy
bittercress. And the only mallow I get is Musk Mallow, Malva moschata,
which, having been introduced, seeds itself effectively into gravel
paths.
Spurges are trivial by comparison (even though I have 5 species which
try to get into p[laces where they are not wanted)
