Thistle Advisory




Just passing along a message from the Landscape committee:


Thistle is making its annual re-appearance at Capitolo. (The "lovely" specimen pictured above was found in the common beds by the ballfield this morning.)


As most of you know, thistle is a real nuisance in the garden. These plants can get quite big and spread quickly. So if you see them in your plot or the common beds, please take a moment to dig them out (including the roots) and toss them in the trash bins. And just a reminder: Don't try to tackle thistle without gloves. The leaves have nasty little spikes that embed themselves in fingers. (You can find gardening gloves in the shed, if you need them.)
