Dandelions -- They’re Everywhere … They’re Everywhere!

The dandelions are taking over the front lawn of the house between the garden and the church.

We have an opportunity to keep herbicides off the church lawns by weeding dandelions this weekend. Weather permitting, please join me on Saturday afternoon, June 7th from 1:00 – 4:00 pm weeding dandelions. We will start on the house lawn and move south around the church property, including the CCNS/RE/playground lawn and ending with the garden lawn.

I know that some of you have dandelion recipes. Here is one source – but if you have dandelion cooking experience, please share your recipes with us on our blog. Note: I have never tried any of these, but there is always a first time. To the best of my knowledge, no herbicides or pesticides have been applied to our church lawns since before the winter snows this year. This is information I would personally want before cooking up any dandelion recipes. I will do my best to verify this information in time for our dandelion weeding effort.

Joan worked on digging up dandelions and other weeds from the church house lawn for about 3 hours. It's going to take more work ... it's about one third done. Stop by anytime and lend a hand.

Julie worked on weeding the spaces between the flagstone. Rick and Brian put in some more work on the drip system ... so very, very close to completion. Dani and Steve stopped by to admire the garden as did a number of neighbors.
