Darn Dandelions!

There is one day a week I can cut the grass. This weekend there were two.

Last weekend we were in the middle of a nor'easter, not a time to cut grass. What I learned this week is, if you let the grass and accompanying foliage grow over a two week period, in the Spring, in New England, when it has rained a LOT, the dandelion stems take on a woody quality.

This is a quality not very compatible with the manual lawn mower’s method of cutting. You know the dandelions have evolved when they jam up the revolving lawn mower blade. What they don’t know is my neighbor has a tractor, with a military size engine. I will get those suckers next Saturday.

If it isn’t raining again.

Happy Sunday.
