A veritable thorn in Tiny’s side

Sorry, Charley … the thistles never come alone. I can testify.

Good morning, crew!

At least, he has been given the chance to stay peacefully.

So, if you talk to green plants as if they were your guy and gal friends, if you you were a vegan would you be called out as a carnivore if you ate a salad for dinner?

They breed faster than un-spayed cats.

I leave a few growing on edges of the property. Butterflies and bees use the flowers for pollen. Yesterday I saw a Goldfinch eating the seeds.

Charlie has a strange non-mixture of tools in his caddie – all the same thing???

Just keep in your assigned spot and you’ll be safe.

Good morning Crew!

Where is my Captain??

You may regret that, Charlie. The thistle need not invite any of its friends; it can simply spread by its roots.

Tiny Gardener has four gradening utinsels – all the same LOL.

Oh yes, he knows!!!

Charlie is fair.Good afternoon, Crew!

huge invasive thistle plants have been colonizing our area of japan. they originated in europe, but are of course called “american” thistles… ☺

You have to at least appreciate the thistle seeds for going airborne for a mile.

So close, and yet so far. Better luck next time, Charley.

Good Evening, Crew.

OR I’LL MAKE TEA OUTA YA, YOU LITTLE …
