Now we can get rid of it. I'm glad I did not touch the thorns.<br /><br />Jeanie -- Weeds and roaches always survive. Perhaps we haven't really touched on their benefits yet.<br /><br />Riot Kitty -- I will always love dandelions. We used to make necklaces out of them. Plus they turn into puffballs and if you blow off all the seeds your wishes will come true.<br /><br />Snaggle Tooth -- The leave also resemble watermelon leaves. Yes we do have to kill it because it can contaminate the ground.<br /><br />LL Cool Joe -- I'm on it!<br /><br />Dianne -- At lease I enjoyed the yellow flower for a while:)<br /><br />Pat -- Darn flies!Granny Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165058412950953296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11335434.post-59326183420213602002012-08-10T05:09:02.996-05:002012-08-10T05:09:02.996-05:00There's always a fly in the ointment:)There's always a fly in the ointment:)Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01529798893653033970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11335434.post-51355236593779835212012-08-09T18:18:07.457-05:002012-08-09T18:18:07.457-05:00oh good heavens!!

Known as a very "evil" plant, it is deceptively attractive with cheery yellow flowers. It is toxic, for one thing and animals seem to know better than to eat it. <br /><br />Guess I better get out the Roundup for sure:)Granny Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165058412950953296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11335434.post-40102853757965188992012-08-08T15:21:51.442-05:002012-08-08T15:21:51.442-05:00sonny -- What if it "rains on your parade&quo...sonny -- What if it "rains on your parade"?

Want to give me a clue?<br /><br />ashok -- Thank you. I'm still looking for some more color on our place.<br /><br />Cliff -- The leaves are kind of velvety looking. I shall research this.
