Honeychile, you know how I have the best luck with killing weeds? Cut the weed off an inch or so from the ground, then apply herbicide to the cut surface.
I managed to select three dead peonies from the garden center this year, so I think the seeds may work better. I've let them dry - so now, into the cheesecloth?

This weed is some sort of mutant! Picture a dandilion that grows up to five feet tall, with tiny thorns on all of the green parts. It's miserable to pull out, and simply will not die. My boro will not allow the use of napalm, and I can't afford to have all of the dirt removed. SO MANY YARDS have this, it's a real nuisance. I've never hated a plant quite so much! Is it restricted to my area, or have others seen it, too?
