I have a problem with ground elder (and creeping buttercup) because the
young leaves of both look similar to strawberry leaves. :-(


Don't talk to me about creeping buttercup!


I surely feel the buttercup pain. If that makes any sense...

Ground elder at least you can kill with glyphosate, but creeping
buttercup colonises cleared areas around trees and can only be taken out
by hand. That means removing deer protection, weeding, putting it back,
ad nauseum. I really despise the stuff.


ITYM you really hate the stuff. I'd despise it if it rolled-over and
died as soon as it was attacked...
