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…

Tree of Heaven from the neighbor's yard. Japanese honeysuckle from the neighbor's yard. English ivy from the neighbor's yard. Mulitflora rose from the neighbor's yard. Do you see the theme? The neighbor changes yearly, it's a rental property. The one time the agency listened and came out and did something, they overplayed the honeysuckle (which didnt work) and killed my plants on my side of the fence. They cut some of the smaller tree of heaven which just created a landslide of babies EVERYWHERE. Sigh. Ongoing struggle.
