Beware of Horse Nettle


If you see this weed in your garden do not touch! The spiny stems of horsenettle will prick, and some people will develop allergic reactions.
It is quite painful, and if you have this on your property it is best to dig up with a trowel, getting all the roots. Careful to use gloves that won't let the prickers get to your skin!
Is anyone else tired of wilting hydrangeas and trudging around with a hose?
