Indeed you are preaching to the choir, Doris. Although there are far too
many thistles around the farm for me to make any attempt to wipe them all
out, I sure as HECK can keep them under control in my gardens! I don't
allow thistles right around the yard to flower, and as much as I HATE
using RoundUp, I do make an exception for the thistles. It's not a quick
kill, but at least it gets them in the end.
I am still curious about whether anyone else has noticed the apparently
toxic effect Canada thistles have on bearded irises. Anybody?
