Yes the 3 corners leek thing.

It's spread in masses here. Bit like valerian it spreads like wildfire. It's pretty but people don't realise just how much it increases and if not tackled early will take over.

Tons of it in the wild here so no guilt in pulling it up

Moral duty to pull the damn stuff up. I spotted some by a footpath that goes between the back of gardens and a bit of woodland on the edge of the village the other day and yanked several bits out before I realised how much there was and it was a bit pointless. Plus wondered if by pulling it up I could actually be breaking the law by allowing it to roll off and spread even further. I'll take a poo bag next time.

Three cornered leeks are growing in the verge along my street. I don’t suppose it’s notifiable so the council will treat it? There’s a heck of a lot of it …. And I think there are maybe one or two of them among the bluebells in the communal garden. And even the bluebells are either Spanish or hybrids. I wonder what invasive plant I’ll spot next …

I wonder if people think it's a white bluebell.

That's if they care at all. Where I live all the front gardens have been tarmacked over and rear ones paved for convenience. People then complain of flooding which didn't happen before.

It's sad, I remember walking to town and greeting people tending their front gardens, swapping fruit and veg to save money.

Guilty m'lady 🤫

Took a while for me to realise, luckily they are in a border I volunteered to look after, not my garden, and plenty of space to harmlessly spread, restricted by car park on one side & horrible neighbours on other side of fence
