  1. This grass has appeared along the margins of my 'meadow' (or uncut lawn, the size of a tennis court) in the herbaceous borders and along the fence line with my neighbours (immature) orchard; is it something that will cause me a problem if left and if so, do I need to do something before it goes to seed (your statistics seem to suggest that it isn't a particularly prolific seeder!?) or can I just let it get on with it - I will scythe the meadow at the end of August.
