My favourite place to go walking is near the woods & on the edge grow these huge plantain - & around this time of year - I brought one back similar size to that & all 7 Herman babies fit on top & didn't cover it & didn't have a clue how to demolish it but managed eventually!

Lynn you should have taken a picture , sounds lovely.

Cheryl it has been demolished by my big adult male Margie, he devoured pretty quickly.

Emma, my fingers usually end up in bandages , cos the skin peels off and they red raw

Oh goodness. It's awful to think there's nothing that helps you.

I found some lovely big plantain when we were at a NT property last month. They were in the car park, so I did a bit of weeding for the NT, which I was thought was very good of me, brought them home with nice big roots and they've taken well in my weed patch.
