SALLY: thanks for the tip. I am going to do that, just cut them off as close as I can to the ground and put them in the trash can. I took a lot of other weeds yesterday, also put them in the trash. I have quite a lot of those horse nettles. I just learned what they were called. Surprised to identify them as horsenettles. I thought they were going to be called some kind of egg plants or nightshade-----like golden nightshade or golden egg plant-----
My book explains that they have very long roots-----
