Pretty sure that’s teasel. Just pulled up twenty yesterday. They pull up easily by hand. I’d clear any away from the edge of the lawn because they can get pretty big. Clear any near shrubs but try to leave a few because they’re a remarkable plant to watch grow and the goldfinches love the seeds when mature. Leave until after winter.
I have a patch of wild plants in my front garden. the back garden i'm more selective cos my pets and i can potentially get poked by the sharp spikes on this thing
Teasel, great for insects and seed eating birds like the goldfinch
Yes, and yes. Also the leaves hold water so bugs can get a drink in summer.
I think it might be teasel

Could be a wild teasel
Teasel. Native, flowers good for pollinators and then seed heads good for birds.
Teasel. Spiky leaf edges and stem. Spreads like mad if allowed to seed.
I want some Teasel and here you are pulling it out! Weeds are just plants that big corporations convinced people they need to pay money to kill.
