We've always had a problem with thistles at the Epworth Veggie Garden. It seems like underground there is an endless network of roots that send even more thistles up when one is pulled. I decided it was a good time to get a jump on the thistles and since the ground was still a little too wet to till I'd dig as many thistles up as possible. The area on the south side of the garden (with the iris and daylillies) seemed to be the worst. I spent several hours digging and digging and digging. We'll see in a couple of month if I made much progress in the war against the thistles or if I just generated that many more new thistles underground.
