If only you could give a bit more information that would be great.

It’s the Himalayan blackberries that kill me. They’re not that bad to keep under control, but they come up all over the garden…. there doesn’t seem to be any way to get them to stop for good. Same with thistles… you get rid of one, and ten more seem to take it’s place.

Our mint tries to get out of control… I think someone takes a weed eater to it when I’m not watching.

Add some Obedient Plant to the mix. Oh, and Mountain mint. Plus, Autumn clematis. They will run screaming with their newly greened thumbs after the first season.~~Dee

What about Jerusalem Artichokes? I love them- pretty and tasty- but they just take over. Even after I pull up so many of their brethren to eat in the fall, they still spread and spread. How is that possible?

[...] Plants You Cannot Kill For two summers I have ruthlessly yanked up all the plants I can find. Still, they manage to return again and again. [...]

My son-in-law is growing mint from seed this year. He wanted a herb garden. I told him to keep the mint in a container and never let it loose in the wild. Maybe he needs to put the container under glass, too! Ha.

Funny post! I don’t have any of these, I guess I’m lucky. I’ve seen a johnny jump up or two but they haven’t spread. Now mint I did hear is a crazy one. And I agree with MMD, that lamium is my “I can’t kill this!” plant.

Ha! I love the mental image of your mint jumping out of its pot. Knowing mint, that is entirely possible!
