Noxious dandelion killing sprays are for lazy people.
For just $3.67 (cost of the cheapest digger tool at the Depot) and 5 hours of my time, I dug up all the brilliant yellow flowers I could find on our yard. Sure, I'm sunburnt and tired, I have a little blister on my thumb and I'm probably going to have to do it all again next weekend thanks to the dandelion farm my neighbors are apparently growing in place of their lawn, but there is a certain amount of satisfaction that comes from plucking each of those little buggers up from their cozy little spot in my grass.
As I was crouched in the grass with my little digger tool, I started wondering why restaurants/grocers charge a premium for gourmet dandelion greens. Maybe I should start a dandelion farm. Even I could make that grow.
