Laying Odds
I am taking bets in the Battle of the Invasive Weeds '06. In one corner, we have thistles (no, I don't know what kind--they bear a vague resemblance to rhubarb and get to be 5 feet tall or more if left alone). Attempting to occupy the same corner by the barn, we have spearmint. Both are plants that, given a third of a chance, will take over everything. Now, going leaf-to-leaf, which one will come out on top?

If you do nothing the thistle will win. Thistle is edible if you remove the thorns. Given a choice between Thistle and mint, I'll take mint.
