Hi again Lonnie, I've just had three replies to your query and all say that it's a Teazle.
Keep an eye on it and if the head develops teazle-fashion not only will you know for sure, but you will be inundated with Goldfinches!
I'm not surprised the post was banned - and I always thought you were such a gentleman as well ;-)

Hi Lonnie, after seeing the whole picture, I'm inclined to agree with Cettie re teazle, when it comes into flower the oval spikey heads should prove this. I've grown teazles myself before, as a wildlife attractor and noticed the plants have bristles on the undersides of the leaves on the mid-rib and also the lower leaves often hold a resevoir of water at the point where they are joined to the main stem.
The fence and all the other plants all look brand new and teazles will often collonise newly cultivated or disturbed soil. Hope thats of some help to you. Tbird+

Hi Tbird+,
Was wondering where you'd got to. Its possible, but as I said, I grow the things, I have a patch in my garden just for Teazles, but it is possible, I've sent the pictures off to Gardenining Which', but will have to wait until after the w/e.
If it is a Teazle, then I'll make a grovelling apology for doubting.
