My Dear Grandma used to say....."if you see a weed pull it out!".....don't leave it-pull it out right there and then!Smiley LOL

 

I don't mind weeding just hate the aching back if I do too much at once.

When I was little ( maybe 7?) Dad took us blackberry picking up in the Snowy mountains- the thickets were huge!

He would throw a big sheet of cardboard up into the middle of it, then threw me on top of it so I could pick from the centre Smiley Happy We would pick bushel tins full, and mum would make jam, juice and cordial from them.

 

Now most of the wild stuff has been killed off - weed killer first, then some introduced diseases. Probably not a bad thing as they were really taking over.

Back in the 1960's I think it was, the south american plant Lantana, was introduced to our plant nurseries.'

 

Similarly, in earlier times privet was brought to our shores to replicate the hedging of England.

 

Now it is costing a small fortune to eradicate both from our landscapes.
