Is there less thistles?
Has all that wet weather rotted them?

Crowded out by all the hemlock that's around now.

Do you want some?

 

[Wood field]

Absolutely overwhelmed by thistles here , sprayed when I could travel on ground but lots more to do

 

[muleman]

Do you want some?

Must be just here then!
Never seen as few, suppose there's time.

 

[livestock 1]

I have some where I didn’t remember any being before

 

[Gedd]

Growing fast now here

 

[muleman]

I wonder if this area been so wet the roots have rotted!
We hit ours hard last summer and it seems to have helped a lot but a field nearby that was a right mess last summer and they did nothing much with them, well topped them late on, it is clean too

just finished spraying this ocean of spear thistles, came up in a pretty poor attempt at direct drilling into burnt off pp last year. I am noticing quite a few of them popping up in other parks that Ive spot sprayed the last couple of years tho now you mention it

Every field I’ve sprayed off in the last two years has come back with a mass of boar thistles, I’m starting to think it comes in the seed ?? I’d win prizes for my crops of thistles, they don’t die in the winter either, if only something would eat them they’d be a wonder crop

Dad had a serious blitz on them here last summer spot spraying anything in sight! They’re back this year to the point I’m considering getting a contractor with a boom sprayer for a lot of fields! Never seen so much. Some areas are depressing!!!

I haven’t had a thorough investigation to see what’s what but there appears to be plenty up to now

Thought you'd planted Christmas trees there

 

[Macsky]

Thought you'd planted Christmas trees there

I was almost proud of them at least something grew

Just think of all the good that tap root is doing, who needs brassicas!?

 

[milkloss]

[Northeastfarmer]
