Yes it did in my case. In an unused bit of my garden I left a few groundsel
plants growing, thinking it won't matter there.
Wrong!! I now have the national collection of groundsel. Anyone want a few
plants? I've never tried but I'm sure they will transplant well. :-)

Guinea pigs like them, and I believe that they are edible (for some
sense of edible) even to humans.

I am told that they are edible. If you were to pick a few and consume them,
then by the law of the cussedness of nature, the rest will suddenly become
very difficult to cultivate.

You need a child with a rabbit. You tell the child that the rabbit
loves groundsel, and over about two years all supplies will become
exhausted.

Well, yes, but on balance I would rather weed than get up in the night to
feed and change nappies for many months before the rabbit cure!

Assuming that the rabbit makes it. I understand that too much groundsel is
not very good for rabbits.

Also be wary of feeding the flowering sprigs to female rabbits: it brings
them into season, and if your rabbits are like mine, they are probably in
season enough of the time anyway.
