Loved your pickies although I am in the tropics and the seasons are just slightly different, but the butterflies are a shared enjoyment. We have heaps of them in Oz.

It is (and I do apologize for saying this) one of the hardest blessed things to eradicate and is also known as "killer bamboo". They were originally introduced as an ornamental plant for landscaping and have taken their landed immigrant status waaaay too far. It propagates primarily through root segments, so when you haul out roots, you must get every little tiny chunk and rootlet vigilantly. The best advide I could find on getting rid of them is on the following pages from about.com: http://landscaping.about.com/cs/weedsdiseases/a/knotweed.htm http://landscaping.about.com/cs/weedsdiseases/a/knotweed_2.htm http://landscaping.about.com/od/weedsdiseases/qt/remove_knotweed.htm They seem to cover the gamut. I really hope you have some luck. How big is the patch with which you are dealing? Hi Debbie,
