It breaks off at the stem root at ground level and I can rarely get them out of the ground, and then they're back next year. They literally fill my dumpster. Any idea what it is?

I personally don't like spurge because it is poison. It grows right under edible purslane and I have to pick it out. Also, I don't want people to confuse it with purslane.

So, I’m still not sure what I’m looking at :-( But, thanks for trying. We sure want to keep fire-adapted bufflegrass out of our not-fire-adapted Sonoran desert, or the native species will die in the fire that bufflegrass loves!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8946558921173576859.post-47526216184038303892022-08-28T16:46:04.279-07:002022-08-28T16:46:04.279-07:00Thank you!
