I generally just wait a few weeks and it goes away by itself.

Hand forking to below the root depth as soon as the leaves show, then
handpicking every scrap. It works, but takes time and persistence; any
bits you missed will re-grow and require a repeat effort a few weeks
later *before* they start flowering and seeding.

Don't compost the bits :-)

Sort of! you get a plant label and write Ranunculus fiscaria put next to it
and pretend you like it until May when it goes away by itself :~)

In a wild garden, shrubbery or hedgerow, I agree. But I wouldn't want
it in seed beds or rows of cuttings.

Sort of! you get a plant label and write Ranunculus fiscaria

or even ficaria ;-)

put next to it
and pretend you like it until May when it goes away by itself :~)

Pretend??! I've always loved it, right from a small child. Flowers start
by looking like little yellow tulips, and open into mini-water lilies.
Leaves are finely marbled, and almost as attractive as cyclamen.

Which reminds me - one of the cyclamen I planted about 10 years ago is
now a dense patch of leaves 24 inches across - impressive beasts, aren't
they?
