re: #189 thedopefishlives

Morning Lizardim from the mild and mostly sunny wild north country. This week commences my campaign of mass herbicide, as I work to take back my yard from the dandelions that have totally taken over since the beginning of my tenure as lord of the land. I’ll probably wind up having to re-seed at least part of it, but we’ll see how things turn out as the summer progresses.

Lots of salad…

My mother *weeded* the yard of dandelions by hand for years. Years. I think it was a combination of neurosis and personal exercise program.

I had a neighbor who hebicided his yard for everything, and then yapped at me for not treating/killing my dandelion crop. So I mowed for his benefit later that day*. And I’m not sure what (if anything) he said to any other neighbor within 50 yards who had dandelions blooming as well.

*- I knew fully well that mowing wasn’t going to affect things. You chop off the blooming or recently pollinated flower and it will go to seed anyways.
