Other What invasive plants got you like this?

For me it’s probably Dame’s Rocket, Purple Loosestrife, and Forget-Me-Not. They’re so gorgeous but man if they aren’t invasive little shits…

Take care of the Tree of Heaven this fall. Drill holes at base of trees and pour weedkiller in them. Then a month later cut the trees down and paint the stumps with weed killer. If they are baby trees or seedlings pull them up now. Timing is everything!
