Even the goat willow is nothing compared to horsetail

 

There's a few gardens infested with it in my area, really hoping it doesn't reach me... On the plus side, they are the only gardens that still look green in a drought!

 

Just got back from a week away and there is horsetail everywhere, front and back, along with the UK’s largest collection of rosebay willowherb. I think I’ll turn round and leave again.

 

I've spent my last few gardening sessions digging up giant docks with roots that go all the way to the Earth's core, and unwinding bindweed from my fruit bushes.
