This was for you, husband of mine!
(He says it has to do with being a farm boy – “spring is for spraying!” he says! Sofar he’s been out there with his pump and poisons two or three times. His mission? Freeing our garden from the scary, nasty plague of … <dandylions.> Every time I object. But he gets this strangely delighted macabre look on his face and says “I’m goin’ sprayin’. That’s just the end of it.”
Dude. He can TOTALLY come over to our place and spray ’til his little heart is content if he promises to get rid of the thistles!
(We’re paying a lawn company right now, who we just learned is no longer using herbicides on lawns in our city… so why are we paying them all that money again?)
I agree “Stop the insanity!” Pull them if you need them gone. We have a dog and a cat and don’t use anything but a strong pair of hands to fight our dandelions. It took some work but our yard is clear of them and when an errant one does pop up it only takes a few seconds to yank it outta the ground!
Please tell him that my mother suffers from COPD b/c of a lifetime of sprays in the greenhouses and orchards.
