Thank you for the article @Mee, the photo looks remarkably like my garden! It's encouraging to know I can treat ground elder as a tide to be stemmed, rather than spending years trying to pull up every last bit. I don't think I will get it out of the lawn without weedkiller, which I've been resisting but may resort to that as the lawn needs help for various reasons. Elsewhere, I continue to battle on...
Today there's another flush of new growth: not just ground elder but everything! Now that yesterday and this morning's wind has died down, I was able to put in an hour and a half of weeding: not just GE but new bramble branches and geum seeds that I'd missed. I'm pleased to say I can see progress, though to anyone else it would have to be explained.
I've also picked more blackberries and greengages, and emptied the last of the buckets of rainwater into the compost heap.I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)
