    Lots of ground elder in all areas. It surrounds lovely established shrubs and is all under hedges creeping into garden. Oh dear!

      Oh, been there with the ground elder. A pain to get rid of, definitely - but did you know you can eat it?!

      Pick the young leaves, and steam them - a bit like spinach, but with a distinctive taste, that reminds you of the smell of - guess what - ground elder!! A good spring vegetable supplement, and there's something lovely about eating your nemesis!!

      A welcome to Gardeners Corner!!

          Thanks, John. I'm enjoying browsing around and have already learnt that I can eat my despisised ground elder!
