When I lived in the Panhandle we had grass burrs and goat heads. Now in South Texas everything has thorns. Mosquitoes dont bother me but flat tires on a vehicle piss me off. Quote HistoryQuoted:

When our family would go play tennis I was the youngest, so I was the designated burr remover for the tennis balls. My life actually kinda sucked growing up

We don’t have Goatheads here in NH, but they’ve been used in warfare to deny terrain to barefoot soldiers. My father said the Hungarians have used it against their enemies. It’s called Királydinnye. I bought some seeds last year but couldn’t get them to germinate. I am going to try again this year.

I hate grass burrs we live an hour north of McAllen and we have a ton of grass burrs. I wear snake boots so they don't get hung up in my jeans, also we have no rattle snakes. had previously run over it would puncture your tire. I'm trying to remember if that is the correct name for it. This was in the Big Bend area and 50 years ago. |

https://fairdinkumseeds.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Tribulus-Terrestris-Puncture-Vine-Libido-Gokshura-Seeds.jpg I had 4-5 foot diamter goathead weeds all over the back yard. Took me about 4 years to the watering to take so that I could get the lawn to grown back fully. I still randomly get a goathead weed trying to grow up through the grass after 8 years. Also had tons of red ants when I moved in and needed to water to convince them to move on. My town is littered to high heaven with those shit plants. Every kid quickly learns how to spot the plants so as to avoid them if wearing sandals or bare foot. I have been in the middle of a patch two or three times as a kid and once as an adult when going through deep dirt and getting tagged in sandals. |

My personal war is against the bedamned yellow jackets, but I am no fan of mosquitos either. I don't think we have those goathead things here in the Pacific Northwet.

Dry enough mosquitoes aren't a big concern.... but my poor dogs and those goddamn things. They will stop my dobermans mid sprint leave them yelping. I hate goat heads. |

And if you step on one bare footed, you'll wish you were dead. |
