Public and private landowners are not required to control infestations of bull thistle that occur on their property in King County. Bull thistle is a Class C Noxious Weed in Washington, first listed in 1988. Because control is not required in the county, it is on the list of Non-Regulated Noxious Weeds for King County. For more information, see Noxious Weed Lists and Laws or visit the website of the Washington State Noxious Weed Control Board.
In warmer climates, though, it grows like a weed (in fact, in Mediterranean regions it is a weed, growing wild in hot, dry spots). Best of all, when you grow your own, you can harvest while the bracts are still small and extremely tender. The edible parts of this relative of the thistle are actually flower buds. Steam or boil the green bracts (leaves enclosing the flower bud), and scoop out the fleshy inner side of each bract. The most highly desired part of the vegetable is the heart, positioned at the base of the bracts, below the hairy center. In Zones 8-10, set out transplants in fall.
