Worst weed in the world

After possibly the most trying growing season and lowest rainfall ever, I feel knackered and demoralised as things are.

What I didn't need was finding horsetail, which I've never had until now, growing in my asparagus bed (of all places!), where I've managed to completely eradicate bindweed. 

My neighbour hasn't weeded a single time all summer. I knew he had horsetail and regularly weed perennial weeds from the edges of his plot to stop them spreading onto my plot.

It clearly wasn't enough. I'm SO gutted!!
