Ox eye daisies

[muddy]

In my absence the garden has gone completely feral .
But the main culprits are the ox eye daisies .
I love them but had no idea they were so invasive .
They are everywhere and worse they have squashed all my lovely ( and expensive ) echinacea  plants that I put in .
Only two have survived .
Also I have loads of mallow but it is very pretty .
Other plants that seem to have been on steroids are teasels that are about 6ft tall
They are like triffids ! 
And poppies which I love are everywhere .
Have been toiling away trying to uncover any other surviving plants .
The ox eye daisies  are very tough  and tall and are all tangled up .
 Also have had complaints about our front hedge which has brambles growing in it .
They are attacking passerbys so have gone and cut them all back .
But heck those things fight back so am a mass of scratches .
I tell you this is war !

Bindweed is our curse in this garden, and the more you pull it up the more if grows!

Yes,  as you know Muddy,  that is what happens if we can't tend our gardens regularly.
There's only two things you can do really -

1. Don't go for so long -

2. Or find a trustworthy gardener to look after it when you're away.

It always amazes me how we can care for our plants,  yet weeds so well through, floods, ice, snow, neglect, and even some weed killers!

Yes, it grows so quick too, doesn't it.   Damn nuisance stuff.
