Dandelions

Usually by Easter dandelions are blooming.  This year may be an exception; Easter is early, and we’ve had a very cold March.  

\When the dandelions do bloom in your front yard, here’s a tip.  Allow them to bloom.  Don’t apply herbicides.  Dandelions are pretty, and they are one of the earliest of flowers, which means that any bees active will have flowers to pollinate.

If you are worried about what your neighbors will think, put up a sign that says “Bee lawn.”  

This will bring your four advantages:
•  no herbicides added to the environment.
•  help for honeybees.
•  a savings of time and effort.

•  satisfaction
