Only way I know to get rid of it: harvest all leaves in early Spring, when they are nice and tender. Nice to eat in soup or like spinach.
Go on picking all leaves, do not let any of them grow! The plant will get exhausted, can not go on growing because no photosynthesis without leaves! This takes a lot of time and effort, but it works.
... I heard of someone enjoyed eating it so much, he exterminated it. He was upset!

Meanwhile, prior to checking out the sunshades, I was up at Allerton Abbey with fellow Boots Seth, Stephanie, and Tiernay. While chopping-and-dropping at the Greenhouse, I noticed this massive pigweed. Well, that's what they were called in Maryland, back in the day where these appeared in the community garden. I kept one in my garden plot there as all sorts of insects loved it, and I wanted them to come around and pollinate my cosmos.

Oh I would LOVE to find such a wool skirt! But 'charity shops' here don't have such garments.
Maybe ebay? I did a search and found quite a few, at least, on the .co.uk version. I kind of think of them as old lady skirts, but obviously people still buy them (and donate them) here. I really do treasure mine, and even though one has got a few holes I still love it.
