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...
