Blasted things just keep coming up in my yard..they seem to be VERY well established.  I cut them off just below ground level in the late spring and when the Monsoon rains come rolling in the beginning of July, they just burst out of the ground again.. Just finished a big bowl of them with a sprinkling of wine vinegar,
darned tasty eating..
