[quote="KentPfeiffer"]Keep in mind that puncture vine, or Texas sandbur as we call
it here, is an annual plant

You may call it sandbur, but Goats Head or devil Torn is NOT the same as a sandbur ;
a sandbur is a puny little thang in comparison ! Glare at the very thought of
goats head !

When I saw sandbur, I looked it up to be sure.

You might want to look it up on Wikipedia. I discovered there is even a weevil sold
to eradicate Goats Head.

"Two weevils, Microlarinus lareynii and M. lypriformis, native to India, France, and
Italy, were introduced into the United States as biocontrol agents "
At our ranchiito we do NOT keep bees.
They and other critters grace us with their presence, and we provide for their need to the best of our abilities.
