Fine, but it's his sister that does.

In a flower bed, yes, but they are only a menace in a lawn if you
object to them. I distinguish 'good' lawn plants (i.e. low growing,
soft underfoot, evergreen etc.) from 'bad' ones (not so), and will
remove the latter. Daisies are the former.

Quite right, too. They're our gardens :-)
