And exactly what effect is cutting the lawn supposed to have?


If they are cut at the flowering stage, or even before, no weed heads
to blow about later :-))


As long as you don't leave the flowers lying around. Even unopened cut
dandelion flowers will eventually produce seed.

Mike, just a thought: you post your message underneath the tear line
(two hyphens). I don't know about other mail readers but in Turnpike it
makes it difficult to quote your message when replying. Maybe this is
intentional - I don't know.
