if you have dogs or cats that are outside, this one in seed is a pet coat
nightmare. Don't let it flower or go to seed. This is one I freely paint
with an herbicide, but you may have different priorities RE chemicals.


Ah, it's that big purple thistle thing. Thanks. I'm going to be using
herbicide a lot in that area, dandelions, mulberry, bindweed and the
aggressive honeysuckle....
