Soon spring will be here, as will my yellow sea of dandelions. To be
honest,
I really haven't tried very hard to get rid of them. I live next to a
field
that is full of wildflowers (which I quite enjoy), and I had always
assumed
that any attempt I made to rid my lawn of weeds would be nullified by
seeds
from the field next door ending up on my lawn.However, in an attempt to be
neighbourly, I thought I'd try this year to at least get a start on
controlling the dandelions.


Just leave the dandelions. They are an extreemly important spring
nectar and pollen honeybee crop. The sight of dandelions is beutifull
in my eyes, and I never appreciated the plant soo much as when I
started raising bees. Instead of fighting them, and loosing every
year, just leave them and enjoy their benifet to the nectar collecting
insects.
