Now is the time!
The periwinkle is blooming.
The andromeda is flowering.
The crabapples are ablaze with color.
Spring is in the air!
Now is the time to work a little harder so you can relax more later.
The dandilions are emerging, and now is the time to yank those suckers out of the ground before they flower and send seeds all over your lawn. Right now, their roots are shorter, so it will be easier to get the entire root. If you leave the root in, you have wasted your time and energy.
Some people spray chemicals all over the place, but if you prefer a safer, more natural way to rid you lawn of these pests, a little elbow grease will definitely pay off in the future.
Here is the tool.
It is specifically for getting the entire root of the dandilion out. Make sure it looks like the photo below.
You have a little while before they start flowering, but if you remove even ten a day now, your yard will look so much better later.
You will be glad you spent the effort.
Happy Spring!
