Not pushing or anything ........ but today the photographed bud popped into bloom - AND whilst nattering to my next door at a carefully measured distance I noticed that there is one in bloom in her back lawn .
They are obviously spreading .
NB: The Men come tomorrow to cut the grass which has withered to a height of about 1 centimetre, but they will carefully behead the knotweeds .

Ask if they can mow around them. I'm sure they won't mind You could try bribery with a few bottle of Heather Brew. No more than that as they probably have to work for the remainder of the day.Placido wrote: ↑Tue May 26, 2020 4:56 pmNot pushing or anything ........ but today the photographed bud popped into bloom - AND whilst nattering to my next door at a carefully measured distance I noticed that there is one in bloom in her back lawn .

I'll believe anything you write. I can't tell the difference between Izweed and Knotweed

To prove it, there's an oak tree behind it but it iz obliterated by the vig'rus growth of the GSK.
