Good morning! I am hoping you can identify this noxious thistle weed that is growing along side the slab foundation of my neighbors property. It is very prickly and almost impossible to pull up. We would like to know how to eradicate this weed. We live in Otsego in Wright County on Riverwood National Golf Course. Kind regards, Patty Allen
Wright County Minnesota

That is a Canada Thistle. You have to control it with herbicides. It is very persistent and will have to be treated more than once. Go to this site and click on the red numbers. It will give you the herbicide to use. Read the label on the container. Control options for common Minnesota lawn and landscape weeds : University of Minnesota Extension (umn.edu)
