    What do you think? Is it safe? Will it spread? It doesn't seem to bother the birds! :heehee:

        It's probably something like 'Hairy Bittercress' which is a white flower that grows in lawns.

          Warning!!! You have to be careful. :hate-shocked:

          Many of us have had experience with this and it can be very invasive - but rewarding. :)

          It will spread to all of your garden and is almost certain to take over indoors as well. The only way to keep it under control properly is to feed it regularly and to treat it with tender loving care. :dbgrtmb:
