My only suggestion is to weed it out by hand or hoe it, Jenny. Interestingly, you can buy the seed from sellers of wild flowers. ;-) I have it in quantity too - I made the mistake of allowing a plant to set seed. Whoops!
If it's any consolation I find weeding out gorse seedlings is worse.

Oh, I do agree - it's a nuisance. The one consolation is that it's easy to pull out.

Yes, they're very easily removed - if the plant you're talking about was actually Myosotis (forget me not) and not blue flowered comfrey... Did it have unpleasant to touch leaves?

If it is a Forget-me-not then all you can do is pull it up and not let it flower. Don't worry, we have only been removing it from here for the last 14 years so there is still hope!
