so lucky
Garden Master
We had red barberry in a garden at our house when we moved in. My DH kept it pruned back to maintain the appropriate size, but never managed to clean up all the fallen stems. I can't tell you how many times I got stuck by those nasty thorns, every time I had to do anything in that flower bed. Although the birds loved the bushes in the winter, I hated them, and we finally got rid of them. Wish they could have been thornless!
