Sweet Peas

Perennial sweet pea, everlasting pea, Lathyrus latifolius Speaking of perennial sweet peas - has anyone got any tips on how to kill them? I've got one growing in the wrong place. It's coming up in a position where I can't possibly get any structure for it to climb up - and rambles all over the garden if left alone I've tried digging it out, but 3ft down the taproot was still almost an inch in diameter so I gave up digging and cut it off as low as I could. This doesn't appear to have deterred it much, so I've been regularly applying glyphosate to the shoots which are still appearing. This seems to kill the visible shoot, but doesn't stop the next one coming up in its place! I like sweet peas, but this one really is a bit of a thug! -Paul -- http://paulseward.com |
