dandelions

I am FED UP of dandelions. I've tried everything on the market, but they keep coming back.

Gah.

They are annoying!

Half way through removing the ones on my lawn with a Fiskars.

There are worse weeds to have. At least the bees like them.

I let them win, they're the only flower that seems to thrive in my garden, the slugs don't eat them, they're yellow and pretty and I think the bumble bees like them ;-)

We love em. Even sow more seeds. They're free food for Ruby our 10 year old tortoise

Pick the young leaves, they make a great salad

Dig up the roots, scrub 'em, roast 'em, blitz 'em and make yourself a lovely cuppa decaf!

i love dandies at this time of year - only tiime i can collect enough flower heads for wine making :beer:
lots of insects (including bees) love them - so i live with them - they are not the worst weed in the (my) garden afterall :cool:

Dandelions drive me mad as if I let them seed on the lawn they soon take over. I now use a weed removing tool that looks like a screwdriver to dig them out as soon as they appear - you need to dig really deep to get the tap root out - it will take some time to begin with but as long as you get them early enough they will soon die out:j

Pulled off all the flowers yesterday to stop them pollinating (temporary measure to prevent MORE). But neighbour has loads of flowering ones on their lawn which is bound to come into my garden. I feel like going and cutting theirs!!!

Funny how dandelions thrive in my garden, but my vegetables seem to stay the same size. Sods law
