Queen Anne's lace and dill..help!
Comments (4)Well you can pick the Dill and use it before it goes to seed. I like Dill and just pull up the babies were I don't want them. QAL (Daucus carota) on the other hand in a biennial....foliage year one and bolt/flower then next. I would get a hold of something like a Dandelion weeder so you can get down deep enough to pull the entire tap root out...if it breaks spray the rest with 5% Vinegar. Hopefully this doesn't have purple spots on the stems....then it would be Poison Hemlock; easily confused with QAL and visa versa....See Morelarkspur seedlings vs queen anne's lace??
Comments (3)I love gardenweb! Where else could you find the answer to a question like this? Thank you both so much! Unfortunately, it's not the answer I wanted--it's queen anne's lace--but I'm glad I didn't spend hours transplanting the wrong seedlings! Thanks a lot!

Comments (7)Hmmm... zone 5... they're flowering right now. I went out and pulled at the base with both hands and they came right up. They are a biennial so get as many as you can. It took me little or no time and I walked around with a big hefty garbage bag and plucked those little buggers right out of the ground. After I gathered them, I stuck them on the burn pile to be burned at a later date but throwing them out with you regular garbage is perfectly fine too. I swear you will be totally shocked at how easy they come out of the ground. We did this before we moved to make sure they were bye bye. My neighbors have begun to hand pull theirs also which means that by next year, we should all have 50% less to pull. Queen Anne's lace is actually one of the easier things to ultimately get rid of and then all you need to do is maintain by spot pulling what floats in. Best wishes to you....See MoreVariation on Queen Anne’s Lace
Comments (7)I expect you are referring to Anthriscus sylvestris 'Ravenswing', as that is the only QAL look-alike I am aware of with maroon/purple coloring. It can self-seed profusely and often appears on noxious weed or invasive species lists as a result. Offspring are often the same purple coloring but can also appears in shades of green or green flushed with purple. I addition to QAL, this also goes by the common names of cow parsley or wild chervil. It is considered a perennial but rather short lived....See Morejoandaugh
