Soothe my despair with your tales of victory over Lesser Celandine

Post date: 2021-04-13 05:26:49

The Lesser Celandine is attempting a takeover of my yard and the woods behind my house. Please tell me I can tackle this problem.

This is the most optimistic article I found in my initial searches, and it just. Sounds so exhausting.

How have you extirpated or at least controlled this obnoxious weed, which spreads via tuber and chokes out all the other early ephemerals? We have noticeable spread from last year, and a gardening neighbor mentioned it to me when I ran into her, so now I feel like I am not being a good steward of the land and people can see.

I think the answer might be some combination of "try not to worry" and "work on the patches that are more limited and then tackle bigger ones" and "assemble a work party of your energetic younger neighbors and perhaps some eager students from the college" but I'm so bummed looking at my yard, which I love.

Does anything eat it? Can I hope that the bees are not starving, and instead are making use of its pollen?
