    Aaaaaaaagh. Did I speak too soon or what. I have just found the poppy which I have been trying to kill for the last 4 years, growing away happily. I would not bother but it is in the middle of a bed which is supposed to be either grasses or tall yellow daisies. It would look AWFUL!

    Laurel hedging

    Best thing to do is to spray with water and then mulch the roots, keep spraying leaves till you either win , or you are sure they wont recover, they will take hard pruning so don t worry too much

    Pricking out

    I would wait til the second leaves show on all of them - give them the best start. I usually have to thin my seedlings to stop them getting overcrowded, well before I start pricking out and potting up
