Time for the weekly writing challenge at “Two Writing Teachers”
We finally declared war on the dandelions in our yard Sunday afternoon. After a week away in Montreal and then a very rainy week last wee, were able to get outside and actually work in the yard. The lawn by then was over run with dandelions.
I manned the weed puller and my step-daughter put grass seed and more earth in the holes. I was exhausted after an hour of steady work. O couldn’t believe the length of some of the roots.
My husband prides himself on keeping our lawn dandelion -free all summer. He does a little bit each night. At least now, there’s no yellow, only a lovely green, mown lawn.It will definitely be easier to keep those pesky weeds at bay when there are only a handful to eradicate at a time!

I do love these pesky flowers…pests though they may be.
Here’s another thought. Someone posted on FB that those dandelions feed a lot of bees before the other flowers show up, so it would be good to take it easy on them for a while. Guess everyone has a story.
Hadn’t heard that. But we waited well after the flowers were up. Will keep it in mind for next year.
I know they are considered weeds…but I like them. I do remember digging them up when I was a kid…and yes, the roots can be quite long….but our yard is too large for digging up the dandies…and so I just sit back and enjoy. Jackie http://familytrove.blogspot.com/
When my kids were young I didn’t worry as much – they loved weaving them and holding them under chins.
It sounds like an impossible job. Impossible.
Almost – tiring anyway!
