Hey there, long time no post
-
I have Bishop’s weed. Ugh. Can’t get rid of it. It was variegated when I got it, but I think a lot of it has reverted to plain green; there’s an awful lot of it in the front yard. I’ve decided that it’s just going to look like an overgrown cottage garden out there. I also have a ton of pink Japanese anemone, also hard to get rid of. I bought these things 25 years ago at a native plant sale, not knowing that “native” means “will spread like crazy and take over your home.”

Triclopyr (new, safer formulation of Roundup) and a paintbrush will solve your problem. Weed-b-Gone ( less toxic yet) will too.
May not be your thing but it will work.

@Steve-Miller Thank you. I’ve always avoided RoundUp. I don’t know if I have it in me to do this much yardwork, though!

I just got an up-close look at a new-to-me invasive plant. We spent the day at Tony's mom's house and there was a ton of rosa multiflora in her yard.
I'm 99% sure there's another new-to-me pest in that yard in the form of trees of heaven surrounding her pool.
As for the other weeds? Heck if I know.
On the plus size, there are magnificent two-story-high rhododendrons in full bloom all over the property. We agreed with the realtor who thinks we should take pics right now and call it The Rhododendron House in the sales material.

Tree of Heaven is another invasive that absolutely requires Roundup or similar.
Or you can try pulling it - for a long time.

Hi, rf! Long time no see. I'm just doing a drive-by here myself.

Good to see you here, Rich. Hope you stick around!

Good to see you around rf! (I was/am 'ctpianotech' at the other various fora) Not exactly a frequent poster myself, but it's nice to see how folks are doing.
@RichL hi! I think maybe we both went on a Steinway tour back in the day
