whats this weed called

Supposedly, freddy, but I don't believe it for a moment ... I am referring to weeds in particular. :rolleyes:

Hopefully someone else will give you a technical answer ... mine is a tried and tested one, ie, they slink out from under boulders to find the light. :D

 

Hi LoL, as I`ve been telling your sis, I`m hopefully moving soon and have a large gardening project to undertake. Mehinks I`ll be employing a LOT of black polythene sheeting. Catch you later...freddy.

 

I don't think buttercup is a problem because in the garden where i grow my vegetables I have horsetail - lots and lots of it

 

its called a cellandine very much like a buttercup
relative easy to get rid of just pull them up

 

Celandine is a different beasty altogether - shiny round leaves, looks a bit like marsh marigold. Grows in early spring from little rhizomes and is a b*gger to get rid off. See http://www.dgsgardening.btinternet.co.uk/celandine.htm

 

cellandine weeds out and in any case is solow to the ground that is coverd by most perenials. I doubt it depleats the soil that mutch.
