I've never done anything like that.  I do occasionally get a milk
thistle plant pop up in the pasture now, but not as much as before we
had goats.  The goats loved them.  I knew that they were medicinal, and
I actually thought i had bought some seeds for them somewhere, so I will
look to see what thistle seeds I have.  Do you know what kind of thistle
 seeds-variety- that finch food is?

asked a woman for directions and followed them, allowing them to arrive
at their destination.
