Mugwort in gardens near Lumberton meadow

The Lumberton meadow was mowed July 27.   There are gardens near the meadow with enough mugwort to reseed the entire meadow.  On August 8 I chopped down mugwort behind units #135 and #139.  I have no idea how it will be permanently removed, but at least the seeds won't reach the meadow this year.   I will survey the other gardens near the meadow and chop down mugwort which is high enough (more than waist high) that it looks as if it might go to seed.

Behind #135 AFTER mugwort was cut 3 dead bushes were seen.
I think they died because they were covered.

Leaning stalk, not mugwort, in bloom was previously surrounded by mugwort.

Large bag with mugwort from #139 next to mugwort from #135

Couldn't drag the bag uphill to the street so I drug it downhill to the swale.
Phoned Medford leas to pick it up.
