This stuff comes up pretty easy, and the area I'm working is getting
pretty close to being cleared - I'd say another day or so will see me to
the end of dealing with it other that catching any stragglers I missed,
or re-sprouts that come back up.
The weeds and how to deal with them really aren't my main concern,
though - I'm more interested in whether the Tansy is known to be
bee-toxic, or if I'm just seeing some sort of flukey thing.
