They really do make a flag for every occasion, don’t they?
NothingButGravy
People complaining about other people's lawns is so weird to me. Like, just don't look. Or just come mow it for me. That would be awesome.
To the people downvoting: my lawn grows like crazy, I don't own a lawnmower, and on the rare occasions I can afford a lawn service, 1/2
the weeds have shot back up within a day or two. 2/2
SchwiftyGameOnPoint
If your neighbor having dandelions in their yard is the worst problems your neighbors are causing, STFU because you've got good neighbors.
goodisunpopular
Dandelions are vital food sources for pollinators we depends on to live.
KiwiGameDev
My garden consists of weeds and trees so my neighbours can’t see me from any angle, perfection
mcglirkymeow
I love dandelions. They’re not considered a weed here, so we don’t spray them. The bees are happy.
RelartOfGivia
Bees LOVE dandelions and clover!
pfshfine
I read that clover used to be a desirable part of your lawn, then roundup couldn't not kill it, so monsanto started claiming its a weed.
Iamnotawildturkey
Bees actually love dandelions and you can make tea from them. The honey is really tasty too!
TCGView
Dandelions are actually fine. They re-enrich the soil around them.

Dandelions are good for bees.

Dandelions used to be seen as desirable, actually; poetry from the 19th century written about Central Park in New York talks about >>
>> "galaxies of dandelions" in the grass. It was only in the late 1940s that upstart home herbicide manufacturers launched a marketing >>
>> campaign to convince Americans that dandelions were a weed. They largely succeeded, leading to the flat green lawns we know today. Sad.
Notaboat
That lawn needs a mow
SnoopyDancing
better dandelions than weed killer
IBroughtASpareDrainpipe
That's a dick move by the OP. The reaction to a complaint from a neighbor should not be to escalate or say "fuck your feelings".
TheIronSavior
This. Those puffs will infect the neighbors' lawns and maybe they work hard to keep them looking good just for some douche to ruin it
overcookedchickennugget
Some people love their green desert around their houses.
iabsolutelyfckingabhorguns
Stupid mid 20th century standards getting everyone's yard prim and proper instead of promoting growth. Gardens and wildflowers are fine.
WillemHellfire
They're edible.
PucksAndLiquidLuck
And they have medicinal value
Imgerruinedimger
Everything is edible at least once.
embodymentofgattaca
I have had dandelion tea and cola :)
Sharkostomy
How was the cola? I'm not fond of the tea.
It was cola, but definitely had a unique taste. I wasn't too fond of them either. It was more about the experience of trying them.

Dandelions are one of the first things bees pollinate in the spring before other flowers bloom. They are important!
ayeseaturtles
You're right! They really are!
PhunPhact
What if instead of grass, all yards were dandelions. So cute
JohnNeufeld
Plant higher quality flowers that bloom early. Dandelions are just crack pollen
JAPONfan
me neighbours would need to live with me growin wild flowers
CaptMinion
I wish I could get rid of creeping Charlie but leave the clover and some dandelions.
Mrw1cked
If you grow them are they still wild?
it's like you get the seeds for flowers and you throw them so they can grow and be attractive for bees (mostly)

RunawaySpoons

No let me clarify since you don't: dandelions produce pollen, as a plant. People can be allergic to that pollen.

people to get rid of dandelions - there is no getting rid of them without repeated weedkiller which is terrible for the environment.
coffeeismyfriend
Pollinators need dandelions because they’re one of the first flowers of spring and give them something to consume after winter.
YourFellowMan
I always said if I ever have a lawn, I’m planting nothing but dandelions.
LazerHawkAttack
You can have my yard/lawn, it's full of fuckings dandelions and I'm tired of battling that infestation
thepatioheater
You don't even have to plant them, they just appear!

Leave room for some clover. Bees love clover
FluxSagrie
you know, I just realized i haven't seen those little white clover flowers around where i live for a while, that is sad.
TeaOverdose
i love clover because it stays small and i don't have to mow the lawn
rubygiraffe
We do the same. Back yard is mostly clover. Only mowed it twice this year so far.
butcherfan0301
Clovers also adds nitrogen back into the ground. They used to be normally found in lawns until after WW2 when fertilizer companies wanted
To sell off excess nitrogen that was being used for explosives so they ran a massive ad campaign to convince people it was a noxious weed
Rather than a helpful plant. It worked.
