I'll second that! Only I know it's several million progeny. They
are not gardeners; wouldn't know a poke from a lily. I'm pulling and
digging them by the bushel in my woodland where I cleared a couple
years ago - they came up like mustard and cress; them and wild grape
seedlings....try to get up that bank and cut them back before they go
to seed, but the seedbank in the soil must be incredible.
