    One persons weeds....

    Periwinkle was my most hated weed (vinca major/minor) a few years back. I can't believe people buy it etc....
    RFS - I was only thinking about my Vinca nightmare we had at our old place the other day - horrific plant to eradicate once it grabs hold.

    I don’t understand why people buy it either - it should come with an environmental warning. Strangles other plants, runs riot, will take an entire garden over if serious action isn’t taken.

    must have fought vinca for a decade or more.

     I think I am joining Mr SA with the "man flu" 

    Definitely coming down with something which is making me feel grotty.

    I won't be switching the TV on at 3am though  :D
