So I take it not edible? It is in fact a horrid invasive weed?

Edible, not that I know of. Insects don't even come around that I've noticed.

It could become invasive. Some popped up where I didn't expect this year. Pods open and drop seeds so I was picking them off to save and plant where I want.
Actually an annual ornamental type of hibiscus. I'm just stupid and forget the gloves every time I do it.

All those pretty yellow flowers turn into these hairy ugly seed pods.

All those hairs are just like cactus spines.
Thought I was smart and would cut them off with scissors.
Yes I should have put the leather gloves on sooner.
I swear there's at least one stuck in my thumb but I can't see it.

Thats painful I've had a tiny splinter like that.
Soak your thumb or hand regularly the more it soaks the easier it will come out naturally overtime.

If you can get the tip out, super glue, dry, pull.

Yesterday I worked in my garden. I have cow panel tomato trellises that I'm taking with me because I can use those cow panels for temporary sheep pens until I find a place I want to buy. Yesterday I took down 7 cow panels, I have to pull up tomato vines today and then I can take down the last 2. I pulled up 18 T-posts and have another 19 to pull today.

Cow panels I took down yesterday.

I'll still have end of season clean up to do, usually wait for a hard freeze to kill everything off. then pull and toss on burn pile. I'll disc it up and make it look good for prospective buyers.

I have an ornamental hibiscus and it doesn't bite like that one.

How about you switch to a nice tame plant... like hollyhocks?

Im jealous too , nor'easter blew all morning poured this afternoon. on the way home coming from the grocery I saw this. Going down the road it doubled long enough to see it then the double disappeared.

@Marie2020 I soaked it awhile last night.
This morning at work wrapped it with box tape, pulled and it's gone.

Have you ever made an arbor with the panels? I thought I'd try it with pole beans and use the shade for something that could use less direct sun. They look heavy and hard to bend?
