No key lime bomb?

That is the key lime bomb, Mona.

You are right! NVM.

I actually had a Key Lime Bomb on Sunday. I ate it all. I am not ashamed.

You had no choice really.

Gorgeous

Thank you!

Desserts are my favorite food except for lasagna

Omg. SAME HERE! It irks me that we painstakingly weed and garden only to watch our neighbors lawn morph into yellow shag. Grrrr

I leave them alone in nature but not in my yard. I used to feel bad about spraying them and would be out pulling them up one by one. But the next door neighbor, OMG. Her whole lawn is like that. Imagine wading through dandelions at any point while out in the yard. They take over the whole world.

Instead of spraying, you can use a flamethrower. All you have to do is dry out the leaves; it’s not necessary to set the neighbour’s entire lawn on fire… but I mean, that would get rid of the dandelions. And maybe the surrounding houses.

Maybe I’ll flame thrower them after their initial spring onslaught is over. Just based on my experience with them though, the taproots will hang around no matter what you do to the leaves or flowers.

You’re on the right track and I’m glad to see tcr is coming on board. The real solution though is carpet bombing. Some Napalm and a little 50 caliber covering fire should get you started. Can’t let these agri-terrorists get a foot-hold. Agent Orange will prove very effective at the end of your initial encounter.

Agri-terrorists are just as bad as the bohemians on the south side of Cedar Rapids.

Apropos to nothing will do for an introduction to my pathological need to quote “The Princess Bride”:
Ha ha! You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders - the most famous of which is “never get involved in a land war in Asia” - but only slightly less well-known is this: “Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line”! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

I like this so much I’m gonna have to add it to my page. This will do as good as any other advice on how to handle Trump today.

There’s been a lot of talk in recent years about leaving the dandelions to feed bees.

I am a beekeeper and also have well for drinking water. I choose not to poison the bees or the water my family drinks, sorry, not sorry. Lol

Yep, I don’t blame you being a bee keeper with a well and all.

But would you spray the yard next to travis?

She wouldn’t have any yard left if you sprayed them all. Maybe just the ones by your fence. 😕

Just to put this out there for those inquiring publicly and privately: I wouldn’t actually spray her whole yard with weed killer. If you’re new here, it’s funny. But I do think about it and curse under my breath when she’s got a yard full of bloom that’s blowing over into my yard. I’m not sure if it’s obvious by my picture but her dandelions are of epidemic proportion. There isn’t grass over there, only dandelions and other weeds.

In the Spring they’ll take over my half my yard in a matter of days. I only resorted to spraying after 6+ years of trying to keep up with digging them by hand, etc. If ya’ll think I can dump corn meal on them and be done, I’ll gladly pay you to tend to my yard with natural remedies so long as they actually work against the sheer volume of dandelions I’m talking about. And it doesn’t cost me a small fortune for the hours you’d be putting in.

So yeah, I have no problem with occasionally spraying and spot-checking the dandelions because I’m not dealing with a simple foe here. And I have loads of other flowers (cone, milkweed, pansies, periwinkle, magnolia, daffodils, etc.) to feed the bees and butterflies.

I hope people didn’t think I was advocating setting the lawn and surrounding houses on fire either….

Oh, they were. “She wants you to burn down the whole damn town!!”

You should definitely post a picture of her whole yard to give everyone a better understanding. “Epidemic proportions,” is not an exaggeration.

Good idea!

I am a firm believer in “accidentally” spraying an 8 foot border around my lawn.

Nice :)

Don’t kill them! Leave them for honey bees.

Make a salad 🌿🍃🥗

For two hundred? There’s seriously enough dandelions over there for me to feed all of Texas.

Invite 200 bees!

Make dandelion wine!!!

Number 10 million & 1 why I live in a condo! No yard issues. However I was just griping to a friend last night that the yard diagonally across from my condo building has tons of dandelions that are 3 feet tall.
I say spray away! At least in the parameter of your lawn.

Scott’s works wonders

Just take round up and run across the lawn in the middle of the night in imcohesive patterns. It will look like nature wanted to send a message….

Now this is the best idea yet!!

I say, do it! Doing them a favor

Or maybe they could try mowing? Just a thought

The bees definitely have plenty…

It’s been pouring rain off and on all day in Springfield.

Yep, we got the rain all last weekend

I actually love the storms. Me and E stood outside last night and watched the T-storms coming in. Very windy and dark.

Atta boy

They smell so good!

They sure do!

My grandmother’s favorite

I love them but I have a feeling they’re going to take over the world, starting with my front porch.
