Households warned over one weed with yellow flowers thriving in shady gardens
A garden weed posing as a pretty flower can cause havoc in many gardens, and it doesn't need direct sunlight to thrive and spread at a rapid rate Weeds can camouflage themselves in our gardens well as many produce their own flowers, blending in with the rest of summer's colourful blooms. But as temperatures continue to exceed 30C in Britain, pesky and fast-growing weeds can start spreading at a rate quicker than most can manage. This persistent weed, like the spiny-leaved, yellow-flowered milk thistle, is one of them. While some plants need direct sunlight to grow and remain healthy, some others, like milk thistle, also thrive in shaded areas. This is because these areas are known to be much cooler rather than just getting blasted with the rays of sunshine. Households with gardens that don't get lots of sun are therefore urged to keep an eye out for this one. Gardening expert Harry Bodell at has shared his expertise on how to tackle these common weeds found in the UK, and how to remove them effectively. Milk thistles appear to be clever weeds, and prefer to avoid overheating to retain as much water as possible to be able to survive the hot temperatures. This is in comparison to other plants that might struggle. The site said: 'Milk thistle loves the dry, shaded areas of your garden and can hide behind other tall plants, so regular monitoring is key when it comes to combatting this weed. It can set hundreds of seeds per plant, so it's important to tackle the problem early and make sure that you remove all the roots.' Milk thistle has the ability to hide behind taller plants and establish deep root systems, making it much easier to overtake any shaded areas. They're commonly found in shaded flower beds, as well as fences and overgrown areas in the garden where there's shade. For that reason, it's important to take immediate action and control the situation. This can be easily fixed by simply monitoring the garden on a regular basis, removing plants by hand and ensuring that the entire root has been taken out, so it doesn't grow back. If any part of the root stays, the plant is likely to regrow - and that's going to be extra work for you. Have you managed to successfully get rid of the yellow-flowered milk thistle from your garden? Let us know in the comments with your best tips and tricks.

Eat at Robs
Smash burgers get their name from how they're cooked. Beef patties are smashed onto a blazing hot grill and sizzled until golden brown. The outside ends up with a crisp, caramelised lace-like crust – the best bit about a smash burger. Eat at Robs, located in the front window of Darling Street Meats butchery in Rozelle, specialises in Oklahoma-style smash burgers. And you're gonna wanna try them. Eat at Robs (short for Rozelle's Original Burger) was born when owner Michael Carter returned home from travelling and found a lack of good smash burger options. What began as a market stall has now grown into a burger shop with many loyal fans (including us). The menu is short and simple. Choose from a grilled chicken or a smashed burger, featuring 100 per cent grass-fed beef, caramelised onion and melted cheese on a Martin's Potato Roll that are soft, squishy and a little bit sweet. A single cheeseburger will set you back $10.50; make it a double for $12.50, or go all out and order the combo, which comes with chips and your choice of soft drink. There are also off-menu items, like the Aussie burger, the Big Rob and loaded fries – just ask. Extra toppings, like lettuce, tomato, pickles, guac, beetroot, bacon and more, are available starting at just $1. And there's a bunch of sauces to choose from, like Robs mayo, tomato sauce, smoky barbecue, garlic aioli and spicy Robs. But if it's your first time, we reckon you should start with the classic and add pickles, lettuce and Robs sauce. Warning: the double may bring on a nap—speaking from experience. Burger lovers, you know what to do – next stop, Rozelle. These are the best burgers in Sydney.
