It was covered with the black membrane. I was going to prepare it for planting out some young corn plants in the near future.
Last year I had a winter squash and some borage which grew like crazy (and had self seeded from the year before).
So I see these seedlings and immediately think "Oh that pesky borage" and hoe it down, try and rake it off the surface (that didnt really work) Then I realised, hmm quite early for the borage and round the edges this looks a bit bineweedy. Then I noticed some of these zombie plants were growing out from fairly thick lateral roots.
I think it is bineweed, and i pretty much just mixed it into the soil surface with the rake.
Is there anything I can do? The bed is 6x3 foot and I haven't uncovered the other half but I can already tell the other half is similarly afflicted just by peeking.
Woe is me!
