Weed invading banks in back of house. This one crowding out vinca
minor. About yard long, budding, stickers around leaves. Pulls easily
with long thin root. Put through Google images and it says wood and

Collect the seeds. You can make ersatz coffee from them. They have caffeine.

Also, the stalks and the leaves are edible, preferably cooked.
