Death to dandelions!

Owning residential land is such a hassle.

Now that I own a home, I'm forced to pay attention to the upkeep of the lawn. This includes annihilating the dandelions and other weeds whenever possible. Why? To preserve its resale value.

Sure, I don't plan to resell this place for many years. Nevertheless, unless you stay on top of these weeds, keeping them under control, they will continue to spread. I've seen the lawns of some of my neighbors, and they are practically swimming in yellow petals. Not good.

In fact, I wish they'd take better care of their lawns. After all, their weeds will eventually wind up infecting my property.

Oh, and I wish that the corn gluten I ordered would finally arrive. I ordered that stuff two weeks ago. Where is it??? It makes for a darned good organic (non-toxic!) pre-emergent herbicide, and I want it here NOW!
