Name That Weed
I still have 1/3 of the garden remaining to till, and in the untilled portion, I have a couple of monster weeds growing! The plant leaves are spiky and remind me of thistle; the flowers are yellow and look like dandelions, but not as round--more like a slightly closed up dandelion.
Is this weed a type of thistle? I couldn't find any pics that looked like this in the thistle category, particularly with yellow flowers. What do you think?
I'm a full-time Assistant Professor of English at a local community college, where I teach composition and literature. I have also worked as a freelance writer, with nearly 200 short stories, poems, and articles published under my byline. I love literature and language and try to instill an appreciation of them in my students.

Just want to say that I have the same thing (I think) and as of yet cannot figured out what it is.
