Never Knew This About Tumbleweed

Just have to share this video I found on the Miss Cellania Weblog.

Wow, that was so cool. Who would have thought that tumbleweed would be such an interesting topic.

Spring for tumbleweeds? First time I saw them was when they blew across the highway. It was a flood of them!

There were Russian thistle tumbleweeds around my small prairie town in Manitoba when I was a kid growing up 50-60 years ago. But they somehow never reached epidemic proportions. You'd see one or two blowing around, but that was it.

Yes, Russian thistles are all thorns and extremely prickly, EXCEPT right at the bottom where all the twigs meet -- there it is bare of thorns for about an inch or so. My brother and I would pick up a dry Russian thistle by that thornless junction and then fight each other with them like martial arts weapons! Ah, good times.

That was interesting, John. Had no idea that tumbleweeds were that much of a nuisance.
