See, if you had to take care of the garden you couldn\'t go hunting!
I grew up in Ohio, zone 5. There a dandelion was a small lawn weed, actually sort of pretty. They were very common, our neighbor had us kids gather the blooms to make wine. At the end of the year I did not have to weed them out of my vegetable garden, because the ground froze deep enough they were killed (the seeds are another story). Anyway when I started gardening here in Seattle, imagine my surprise-a dandelion left over the winter simply continues to grow, becoming rather shrublike! And, here I have to mow my lawn in December, resuming in February. I am already tired of it, and it\'s barely April!
What a silly thing to whine about. Actually it\'s real nice here. I am sitting here with all the windows open, in a tee shirt. 80 degrees tomorrow! It usually doesn\'t get that hot until August.
