Now I am scared of this darn Aster that is not actually Aster oblongifolious that we were talking about before. It's not seedlings coming up but plants spreading from runners. I started pulling a few up tonight and discovered they all have these long shallow runners running from the original plant. There were at least 20 babies 2 ft around in all directions! Ack! Now I am scared this thing is going to take over.

Look at all these babies. The original plant is in the middle with the red circle. Not all the babies are even in the picture.
