New Blog Post on "Getting The Message Out" - "It. Gets. Everywhere."

It. Gets. Everywhere.

Ive got a weed in my back garden.  “Big deal,” I hear you cry, “Haven’t we all?”  Yes, we have, but please bear with me.  I can feel an analogy coming on.  Now please note - I am not green-fingered and I don’t have much experience with plants in general so I may make some mistakes when elaborating botanically. 

The weed which is the cause of my woes is called Ground Elder.  It’s deceptive stuff because it doesn’t immediately look like a weed if you aren’t born with shears in your hand and wellies on your feet.  It’s not all ragged and nasty like bindweed, nor does it have the telltale sting of nettles.  Its not poisonous and it doesn’t even look that horrible as long as you don’t mind very bland green leaves filling every square inch of your shrubbery.  Mine grows upwards and outwards making it look a little like a bush.  Or even, in one section of the garden, like a tree.  But let me assure you, however it may initially look, the monstous stuff is definitely a weed.  It. Gets. Everywhere.
