[a little elbow grease]

ON the dreaded thistles .... the other night we found three thistle shoots sneaking up "secretly" in a group of tall ferns right by our healthy compost pile. They thought they could hide. Ha.

But alas as we left our driveway the car lights drew attention to the sly scoundrels. We pulled them out Thursday morning. They were five feet tall and still had not flowered.

Now they are gonzo.

Be well .........

You’re winning the war!

We’re having a HUGE problem with Wild Parsnip this year.

Thistles HURT, but these plants will make you break out in oozing BLISTERS.

Blech!
