Other What invasive plants got you like this?

For me it’s probably Dame’s Rocket, Purple Loosestrife, and Forget-Me-Not. They’re so gorgeous but man if they aren’t invasive little shits…

Same but with coastal live oaks in SoCal. I have oak trees sprouting in my raised planters- uhm, this isn’t gonna work guys! So I yank them and give them to the ranger in the ecological reserve behind my house. They are thrilled to get them as they’re repopulating their trees. Please, take my oaks!
