Got to quit that speed reading. Made out to be a whole different topic. It's like the kopi luwak coffee beans.

I read it that way the first time too.

It's a constant battle of ripping them out of the earth with the tractor when I can, spraying them with copious amounts of Round-Up when necessary, or burning them. Doesn't matter. All it takes is one bird, one pooped-out seed and it starts all over again.

At least they're tasty. They're the really big and plump Himalayan variety and they are considered an invasive species. The thorns are like razor wire.

Yeah, we had to wear denim head to toe when we went trout fishing in Oregon. Really sucks when a vine wraps around your ankle and it does its best impression of a cable saw on the front of your ankle.
