Well, it’s not that bad…but that was yesterday when I noticed a few 5-inch high white-flower-tipped thin plants.

Today? More and much taller!

They are biennial and flower the second year. It is easy to pull after it has rained. Grab near the base with one hand and pull straight up.

I walk around with a paper bag and then place it inside a black plastic bag in the garage. Once filled, then the spring weed bag is placed in the garbage can.

Do not compost this very invasive plant. The good news is that every year, I pull less and less!
