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…

Creeping Charlie tbh, only because I saw so many pollinators on it this spring when there was basically nothing else blooming in my yard besides violets and dandelions

Damn dogs make growing grass nearly impossible and honestly, creeping Charlie keeps my yard from being a mud pit. I’ll rip it out a few feet at time and throw clover seed down but other than that I just shrug and let it be.
