Thank you both !~ More than I could find on them darned weeds. Yes they are bad, and I have been pulling them for the last 4 years. Even tried the old mixing of equal parts of Vinegar, dawn and hot water, pulling the plant then pouring it all down the hole from the plant root to kill anything left in there. BUT to no avail. So I guess I will just keep on a picking, plucking and raking ..
They are horrible for my dog, granddogs and granddaughters, the neighborhood kids as well who come over to visit.
