Pasture Weed Spotlight: Thistle
One of the most misunderstood weeds in our western North Carolina pastures is thistles. A biennial, most of us don’t really give them a second thought until they send up their stalk with those gaudy pink flowers and spread those downy seeds hither and yond. Usually, once we recognize the stalks and flowers they have already produced viable seeds.
Control them now, before they get too big this summer!
