Oh good Lord Almighty, have we got weeds up here! Most of them have flowers. The only thing we can do is embrace them! Almost immediately after we see green grass showing, the entire yard turns to a bright, cheerful yellow...DANDELIONS! Then after the dandelions comes the daisies....daisies everywhere... Even the dirt driveway, in every garden around the house edge and even in the middle of the lawn...then of course the clover with white pom poms, and then these wild beach roses...you can not kill them...they smell great but they decide where they are going to live...and that's that, by rock boulders, in the lawn under trees, you can mow over them and a month later it is back there....
When we lived in Massachusetts, in a suburb, all us neighbors competed for the best yard and gardens... The hubby used some Scott's product to kill the dandelions and green the lawn......
Up here in Maine around where we live, we just have to embrace the weeds and see the beauty in them! We don't want to use poisons that might harm the animal friends we have who eat the weeds!
