Sorry Sandi
I'd rather deal with the prickly pears with the large spines than those little teeny spines because they're a pain to get out. I tried duct tape and scraping my hands with steel wool and that got a few of them out but for days I had to deal with one or two little spines. I always tend to rub them the wrong way and it just sends a shockwave all over my body because it's painful. I got mine from a friend near Decatur and he said I'd regret planting them. I just laughed and said they're too pretty to hate, but now I regret ever planting them because I can't pull weeds around them. I just dug up as many as I could and threw them in the tree line
Jolana I'm just thankful no one was around to see that happen. My parents had a good laugh when I told them and when they saw the large knot on my head
Anna I'm glad I'm not the only one that's happened too, I don't feel as embarrassed now.
