Ron took exception to something and left. Unfortunately he took all his contributions with him. (He deleted all his replies to queries.) Unfortunate because he was an excellent plantsman and took the time to answer most all of the members questions. Sometimes there are holes in threads because the Mods have deleted a post for real or imagined reasons. Quote \| Reply \| Report

Regarding the Dames Rocket, and others, so be it, but in our yards, luckily nobody will bother us about what we grow, and we have control to weed out anything we don't like. I will say that the soapwart and feverfew really do spread heavily, but I have never seen even a single seedling grow from my one Dames Rocket plant, though I believe in theory it could and does in the wild. On the topic, does anyone have a link to a site that lists what flowers are not allowed to be propogated in my state or others? Quote \| Reply \| Report

I can somewhat control the plant by pruning off the the dead flowers before the seeds develop on them. This also causes the plant to rebloom. If you don't trim off the flowers as soon as they are done blooming, you will develop seeds on the soapwort and this plant will multiple like crazy from those seeds. Quote \| Reply \| Report

I agree that in some areas it (Dame's Rocket) and others like purple loosestrife (sp) are out of control. Yet when I lived in MA I had both in my garden and they were well under control. Dames Rocket is now available in a cultivated version that is much less invasive (I think through organic seed sellers Seeds of Change). Everyone of us has to be responsible for our gardens. Honestly who hasn't planted something later they wish they hadn't (Japanese Lanterns and Bishops Weed aka Aegopodium)I did and fought with it until we sold our home (ggrrrrrr). no hard feelings at ALL!javascript:; Big Grin Quote \| Reply \| Report
