Dandelions
Most flowers, bloom, then shrivel up and die. But not dandelions. They breed faster and more prolifically than rabbits or mice. That's why dandelions are not a flower but a weed. I hate dandelions, they're taking over my world!
I live in a place that has banned chemical herbicides that once controlled dandelions. So where once I saw fields of warm, inviting, green grass - today I see fields of yellow dandelions that will soon become a great sea of ugly fluffy weed seeds seeking to expand on the wind.
I've tried Weed B Gone and it didn't work for me, so I am in a battle with the dandelion's ugly leaves and spreading roots waiting for the next crop to arrive. Leaving them in my lawn causes them to propagate. Cutting them out of my lawn leaves big patches that need to be reseeded.
Yes I want a clean environment with unpolluted ground water so I am not unhappy that herbicides have been banned. But surely if we can send men into space - someone out there can figure out how to rid ourselves of this dandelion blight. Sure some of you will tell me that dandelions are edible, and have some beneficial properties.
To you I say, "so go ahead and grow them in your yard." But I want them OUT of my yard. Out of my parks. Out. Out. Out! So if you have a potential cure for my dandelion woes, please write me here at feedback@nakednews.com with the subject line "dandelions".
