Happy Bday and thanks for posting!  I have been meaning to for a while.  I
am looking for any ideas of how to get rid of anemone that is taking over
my garden.  I have dug, pulled, round-up (carefully with a paint brush bc
other things are nearby), and I cannot kill it.  In fact it seems to regrow
from any tiny root that is left behind.  Any suggestions?  If I don't get
it out, it will I'm afraid take over my entire front garden...
