If you want to get rid of them you have two options. The first is to laboriously dig each one up, making sure to get the roots and then disposing of them. The second is to get a herbicide spray that directly states that it will kill thistles. Spray each plant and wait. Remember that the area sprayed with herbicide will not be suitable for tort food harvest for some time(your herbicide should say how long before it's safe to allow grazing, I double this time to be extra safe)I have these aswell we had a pook and it grew and poked through tge thick liner ...

Don't let the flowers fully develop.
Yes, I'm a little cautious with them. When I offer them to my tort I trim the longer spines off. It's time consuming but then I'm not so worried about it poking his eyes.Thank you very much, it said they are edible, I own a three-toed box turtle and my wife worries the thistles could harm him
