    Best way is just to pull them up by the roots once the soil is damp. Better than spraying weedkiller and poisoning your soil and veg. Try to deadhead the feathery flowers before the wind gets to them and they seed elsewhere.

        Good afternoon @billylambley our friend @rosebay has given you sound advice and if you weed on a regularly basis you will keep on top of them ,the way I tackle the weeds in the slabs is to painstakingly dig most of them out with a bricklayers pointing trowel as I dislike spraying of any kindl;)

          I agree with rosebay, you do need to get them up asap - one years seeding is seven years weeding!
