Ugh...... I hate them ..... dandilions., but now we have a new law .... A pesticide law. We cannot put any pesticide on our lawns and will get a fine , but how they are going to police.it is another question.
Short of having to dig them out manually does any one have an alternative , natural solution? When you go anywhere now it looks so bad cause the parks and everywhere are turning yellow instead of green... Sigh ![]() ![]()

My wifes daycare kids love to pick the yellow heads off, I'm very encouraging when they do it, I might have to make a contest and a prize for the kid who picks the most...
! Too bad I don't drink, I could make some dandelion wine. I wonder how they would taste in a juicer? |

I've been in my home for almost 5 years now. I've been trying to grow a lawn ever since I moved in, without much success. The ground's too rocky, I have to rake every spring. I plant seed and watch it wash away. The birds all laugh at me from their branches in the trees, pointing with their wings and throwing their heads back to cackle.
I planted a cherry tree and I'm tending to it every day. I still water my grass, or what little of it there is in the desert sun. Last week, I noticed something strange. A dadilion! ![]() My very first one! My first house, a big accomplishment, my grass that's growing...and this, my precious little first dadilion! ![]() All mine. So yellow and bright in the grass that's hard growing. I'm so blessed! ![]()

I'm sorry Dusty.
![]() Have you tried that spray? You spray it on the plant, supposedly, and it kills the entire plant? I had no idea that they could make laws about flowers. Or are dandilions flowers? They look sure look purdy to me. ![]()
