Mean weed more here I found this plant in my back yard a couple years back that I can't identify. Now it has spread to my front yard, I have tried digging it up, weed and grass killer, boiling water. Basically everything short of gasoline(which I won't do), seems like every time I cut the grass more of it shows up. They spread out from a center root and dig into everything, at one point it was eating my fence, those spikes make it through everything but thick leather gloves. Live in Texas(Houston) Short version please help me find the proper name so I can find out how to remove it. Thank you.
