I've been having a rough time with a few plants in my garden and I'm wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences. First off, spearmint is a huge problem for me—it's so invasive that I can't seem to get rid of it! Then there are the raspberries. They're also taking over, growing under my greenhouse, and those thorns are no joke! Lastly, marigolds. I love them, but I let them go to seed last year, and now I'm overrun with volunteers choking out my veggies! I'd love to hear from you all—what plants have you regretted growing?

Yeah, morning glories can be a nightmare! They just keep coming back no matter what you do. It’s like they take over your entire garden!
Oh, I totally feel you on that! The previous owners of my place planted perennial bachelor buttons, and they self-seed everywhere. It took a lot of effort to get rid of them, and I ended up having to use some tough stuff to make sure they wouldn't return.
Huacatay is the worst for me—those spiky seeds are everywhere! Plus, red dandelions sound lovely, but they're just all over the place now! At least they have beautiful blue flowers, but that still doesn’t help with the mess they're making!
