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)
these are different from the little spurges that appear in my garden. They
grow 18 inches at least, branched with big hard stems that are hard to pull
up. They are definitely a spurge.
It's the worst weed I have on my veggie plot along with fools parsley and
mallow.
