Scammony

Last August I thought I had Japanese knotweed all over the back garden. Now I think it may just be bindweed, but I'm still pulling it up over a year later, and I wouldn't be surprised if it takes me another twelve months to get rid of it completely.

I've pretty much given up on looking after the lawn while this war is on, as I'm forever pulling foot long ropes of roots up through it.
