I love the flowers, but after a while they get too big... So then I cut them, but I have a bit of space and wild area in my back 40, so I let it go. But getting the weed~wacker isn't a bad idea!!!! * * * * Weezie Don't forget to be kind to strangers.

You might want to cut them down before they mature Plants: 11 | From: New York | Registered: Jun 2006  |  Seeded: 24.58.253.6 netty Super Gardener Member # 5851 posted                       That IS Burdock. But I'd dig it up getting as much root as possible. * * * * Plants: 757 | From: Ontario | Registered: Jun 2005  |  Seeded: 165.154.18.162 Wrennie Garden Pro!

Member # 772 posted                       Just keep pulling it, eventually if you don't let enough of the leaves grow to get nutrients, it won't be able to feed it's self enough to sustain it... and will eventually die.. *a slow process, but usually effective* * * * * Weezie Don't forget to be kind to strangers.
