Dandelions

Our front lawn was looking great until dandelions started popping up everywhere, the back lawn was much worse than the front. We decided we would try a little weed killer where you walk around with a little spray bottle and spray the dandelions. After two applications of a small area of the front lawn, the bottle was half gone and the dandelions were barely starting to look sick. For family home evening, Doug and Blake worked in the flowers beds working in the manure and then they also potted the flower bed where our lovely bush used to reside. My job, self appointed of course, was to use the garden tool to dig up the dandelions in our front yard. After two hours i had a blister and my thighs were killing me. The front lawn is shaping up, but knowing the back lawn is much worse makes me want to cry thinking about hand weeding all those dandelions! Here's a few pics of our new flower bed, my potted gerbs, and my cute door hanging i got for mother's day!Some day there will hopefully be curbing and grass in that lovely dirt patch!



Try not to notice the siding that is practically falling off of our house! haha!
