Hello Sue
I'm a (happy) victim of this drawback. When I started my
garden two years ago, I was delighted with all the forget me
nots because I didn't have much else in it at first. Last
year, I had loads of FMNs, but thought I'd better pull most
of them out before they started self seeding, just leaving
one or two plants for this year's display. I didn't pull
them out soon enough obviously. Since then I've been
pulling thousands of tiny little seedlings out. For the
last month I've given up, reasoning it will be easier to let
them grow and pull them out as full size plants. The garden
is now beginning to resemble a deep blue sea, with all the
other greener plants floating in it. It's incredibly
pretty.

and wet for the last couple of weeks, but warming up now
(early 50s) and still wet.
