So on that note I'm spot spraying some of the more problematic weeds as stated above amongst the natives i would like to remain as edging of the field..primarly Goldenrods & Daisy fleabane.. so is burnt weed one that gets out of control.. since I only see three plants was wondering if I should not spray it..thanks
Thanks for the info! I will head back in that direction to give it a squirt.. thank God I'm not dealing with any kind of hemorrhoid problems!I would recommend killing it. It's of no value to deer and used less by insects than most other similar plants - mainly wasps. I would rather have Goldenrods and other plants taking up the space. It can get out of control in some areas, but since it is an annual, once perennials take hold it usually limits the amount of it you will see,
The Native Americans used it to make an ointment to soothe piles (hemorrhoids). So if you decide to keep it you may never need Tucks again.....

I found another one with the seed heads forming and they look a lot like the one wild lettuce with the shinier leaves that have points on them.Don't be surprised if you get more free seed from your neighbor. The wind carries that white, fluffy stuff for miles.
And if you ever run out of it, we can send you plenty more.

Speaking of which everywhere I see that wild lettuce not so much the shiny one but the duller bigger leave one..they really seem to hit that hard.. I have one by the house that's about 10 ft going to seed and I was thinking about bringing the seed heads and letting them disperse along the edge cover or is that a bad idea
That is not Canada thistle in that pic (post #10). My best guess is that it's prickly lettuce. My deer browse PL, they don't touch CT.Wow found some morecan thistle out in the middle of the field sniped@ every stem
Yes that was the shiny prickly lettuce you were right it was so close to the other patch of Canadian thistle I miss taking it thanksThat is not Canada thistle in that pic (post #10). My best guess is that it's prickly lettuce. My deer browse PL, they don't touch CT.
