My marigold plants are growing. I heard that pinching the buds until Autumn will allow them to grow without killing the plant. Is this true?

It looks like wild lettuce to me.
It is a very regal looking weed with small white flowers at the very top mid to late summer. I have a bunch of them at my woods edge, and I leave them!
It looks like wild lettuce a noxious weed
You know when you have other things to do, but you end up going through pages and pages of tall weed pictures......by golly, I just don't know! The thick green center stem reminds me of a roadside weed (not ragweed, I looked...) and the small spikes on the leaves reminded me of thistle, (looked through a dozen images for your close up leaf...) my opinion, which is NOT based on fact, is, a weed. But hey, a rose by any other name.....could be a beautiful wildflower, beneficial to your local wildlife. I'll be standing by, hoping others can name your mystery plant. Things like this intrigue me.....um, you didn't say what area you are located in, that might help....![](http://cdn-fastly.hometalk.com/resources/design/emojis/1f914.png)

Wild lettuce. Lactuca
I don't know other than to say a weed but you need to pull it up or cut off the seed heads or they will spread to the rest of your garden.
Definitely a weed, although I don't know what kind.

Burdoch!! It's a horrible weed that will take over and kill everything. Chop it down, then put salt and vinegar on it to kill it. You will need to repeat a few times and then again in the spring.
That's a ginormous weed.![](http://cdn-fastly.hometalk.com/resources/design/emojis/1f642.png)
looks cool to me might be a giant thistle????

I have issues with Canadian Thistle. A man at my local nursery said to get some Ortho Weed be Gone and a bottle of clover abd oxalis and mix the two. I grab the weed and pull what I can out and spray what is left or the hole it came out of. It took a while but got the silly things out of my flower beds and grass.
Almost ready to bloom, will post pictures at that time
Sure looks like a thistle to me too.
I've let the one in my garden bloom .... a big purple spiky ball... very tall and regal. It's a lookie but don't touchie kinda plant!
Love to know if that is the same plant.
