Thistles

[Luci_ferson]

hmmn what I was given was like a small nut a bit larger than a sunflower seed and a bit smaller than a hazelnut.
If that wasn't a thistle then ive no idea what it was.

thanks for the tip on milk thistle that could come in usefull sometime.

oh and I wasn't planning on planting thistles, just harvesting the nuts from the ones that surround some areas around here.

ive just found something on thistles.
theres more than one type and not all are edible.
and not all have a nut.
