Yes.   It's probably the same stuff that one MVIS member reported coming up
_through_  concrete. But it's known locally as nut  _grass_  so I didn't make
the connection at first.  It's easy to control in this sandy soil by simply
pulling any new, young sprouts when the bed is watered.  I don't know what would
happen if I gave it a chance to get established, but I don't plan to find out.
