Please ID this horrible plant
I live in SE Georgia. I stepped on some of this stuff barefooted once in
someone else's yard and felt sorry for them for having it. Now I've found it in a small spot in my own yard and need to get rid of it. Its a very inconspicuous small plant with leaves that look almost like tiny parsley leaves. It has tiny seed capsules with sharp stickers on them. I'm not sure if these stickers last all year or if this is just a seasonal thing, but I need to get rid of it. Its very painful to step on. Below is the link to a photo of the stuff. Can anyone ID this and also tell me how to get rid of it? http://web.infoave.net/~BN_cbrown/plant.jpg Thanks, CNB |

Possibly in the Thistle (sp?) family? I have similar plants/weeds in my
yard that grows in the Summer with stickers on them - didn't realize it until I was weeding without gloves (I'll never do that again!) My neighbor said it was thistle.

Grows in sandy soil and gets little seed balls that stick to everything. To get rid of it, use a just a few drops of Round Up on each plant. The pump bottles of Round Up dispense way more than needed with each pump. You might want to take a sample of the plant to a local biology teacher for ID or to an Agriculture dept of a university. The Ag dept has probably seen it and will know how to get rid of it. Randy Share the View. http://ruralroute2.com |
