My other Hobbie

Cool! Looks like some Jimson Weed I'm trying to eradicate from the horse pasture. Started from one pretty (but bizarrely poisonous) plant that I was reluctant to cut down...

Yes it is a type of jimson weed I have those also, they are very poisonous and spread very quickly no way should they be in a horse pasture.

They bloom at night when the moon comes out, thus the name moonflower they are banned in a few states but not here. I have been growing them for years they are great out by the pool people love them.

Horses are smart; they give them a wide berth. I cut them down every year and have them at bay but they do come back. Eventually I will win. I might take a seed for my garden, though. They are extremely ornamental!

I battle thistle, burdock, poison hemlock, etc. on a daily basis living on a 150 acre horse ranch. When we first moved here, it was an ordeal and took a few years to get the upper hand but I made amazing progress by being relentless (and no Roundup, either - all just through consistent multiple cuttings).
The upside is my guerilla grows are on my property

You can get rid of them pretty quickly if you use white vinager and dish soap combo. No water just five gallons of vin and eight ounces of standard dish soap.

Morning or late evening not in direct sunlight. It will show you some imm effect the next day but over a period of a month or so the root system will be shot and they wont come back.
