RE: Thistles
Luci, I don't think thistles have got much in the way of nutritional value for humans. The seeds are edible, and I think young stalks if peeled can be eaten, but to be honest, I don't think they are worth the cultivation for human food. The birds enjoy eating the seeds - if you like wildlife in your garden - but thistle plants spread to a large size and are space wasters.

I have read that milk thistle has been used to reduce toxicity in the liver, but have never tried it.
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
