I’ve been working a few hours a day with a “scraper thing” to try to remove it but was wondering if there’s ANYTHING to prevent it from sprouting again? This is back breaking not to mention a fire hazard during the summer.<<<

I am not a fan of using plant killers, it cannot be good for the soil and you might someday want trees or food there.

Pure vinegar, will kill plants if sprayed on them, and so will salt.

Maybe if you sprayed them while young, they would die.....

I understand the time on the plane crash, I got a notice from the FBI that they are “helping with the investigation, but terrorism is not suspected”.

Which tells me they do think it was terrorism that brought it down.

Hi, granny!
I don’t like plant killers either. Never thought about salt or vinegar but I think it might be too late for that now. It’s pretty mature. Maybe for next year when I see it start to sprout. That’s the crazy thing about it...it doesn’t come up every year! Seems to appear after a wet summer and fall.

Ah, the joys of desert living!

I had to chuckle. You think like I do! Although it really could be ice on the wings. Usually planes have de-iceing capabilities. Could be that theirs malfunctioned.
