Found this pretty yet nasty little bugger in one of my pastures today.😲😬👎

I just pulled a ton out of my flower bed! They must have blown in from a neighboring field and now they're everywhere 😣😡 My fingers hurt even with tough gloves 😜

@jsnell you are not motivating me to get those out of my pasture😩✋. Lol

@SikoMa, if you grab really low you should be able to get the root out without getting your fingers. I had a few tucked inside plants that I couldn't get to the bottom, those were my nemesis!

They are beautiful though! They look like Musk Thistle (Carduus nutans) rather than Milk Thistle to me.
