Too late now!

The knotweeds are more than 2m high, here in Brussels.

In that case, Ketchup, you will need a very, very deep pastry dish.

My Grandad`s garden always had some growing in it, no matter what he tried he couldn`t get rid of it. He did eat it in the spring as the first shoots came through. He also introduced me to nettle soup. Eating your weeds makes the pulling them out doubly rewarding.
