Don't want to go on and on about this weed, but we do need to keep a careful eye on it especially on the asparagus bed as it could ruin the shallow rooted plot!
Barry Wharton told me of a good way of keeping it at bay. He says to let the weed grow a bit and then pinch the stem. Next, paint to cut part of the stem with an artists paintbrush loaded with 4% RoundUp and it will kill the weed back to the deepest part of the root.
The stem itself is waterproof, so you have to treat the cut stem
I have made up a small jar of solution and it is on the shelf in the shed
