Mexican Poppy - be on the alert!

We have had word from some property owners that these invasive weeds are turning up unexpectedly. Often the culprit is river sand. You'll need to be careful if you're doing construction work around your home, or if you employ someone else to do it, that river sand is not used as a convenient building product for concreting etc. This is the most common way of spreading weeds like the Mexican Poppy.
