    LOL that checks out.
    But, It sounds like you don’t have a neighbors yard growing full of them spreading everywhere.

      I used to have them in my own yard. My newer place doesn’t have any and I wish I did!

            (⁠☞⁠ ⁠ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ⁠)⁠☞ Sure.

            But maybe keep your “non-spreading” thistle to yourself if you can.

              If you think I’m crazy, you should know that some people even make tea out of thistle.

                And dandelion. That’s mostly from them being everywhere and easy to grow. And hard to do anything else with.

                Humans would do anything for extra calories or nutrients once upon a time.

                  A plants only a weed if you decide it. If you’ve got a good lawn and almost any kind of mulch, doesn’t matter much what your neighbors doing.

                  The city stopped spraying for broadleaf unless the field is covered by more than 60% or something, the median beside my house is littered with them, but my front and backyard maybe gets 2 a week to pluck.

                    Not true for tight small city yards.

                    I would need a layer of mulch deeper than any of my in ground plants could handle.
