Totally a USA thing. Dandelions and Clover are seen as undesirable to our eugenicized monoculture lawns.
The terrible part is the clover and dandelions and these other early season ~~flowers~~ "weeds" are a very important part of a bees diet.
I love your line of thinking. Lawns don't feed the ecosystem, flowers do! But here in the US dandelions and clover are not a critical part of their diet. Native plants are the critical part of their diet - e.g. Native maple trees that bloom first!
Dandelions are native to Europe
Clover is native to Eurasia
They are far from the worst weeds, i wouldn't go eradicating them like you should invasive plants (I leave both in my lawn anyways). But if we are looking to support our bees and ecosystem, then we should be re wilding our yard and growing native plants
In New England there's a lot of neat spring ephemerals too (select from additional attributes)
Thank you. My understanding was since these were among the first flowers to come up in the spring, they are one of the few plentiful sources of food.
Definitely a thing in the US. People spend lots of money to have chemicals poured onto their lawns every year, summer and winter, to keep the weeds away. All of those chemicals have to go somewhere. Probably the groundwater and streams and other bodies of water. Not good.
I know people who mowed down carefully their lawn and spray them with presticide but they never had a issue with having dandelions, daisies and other common grass flowers, they are usually considered part of the lawn.
It's a weird culture a lot of emphasis on freedom and protecting your home but then you just "ok then" when the local busy body comes around. It's your land get them told
...HOAs hire management companies; management companies issue citations, collect fines, file liens, and foreclose your property...
*land of the free
*free to exploit capital
They can't initiate foreclosure anymore, since around 2005 or thereabouts... But they can still file a lien, and collect on it if foreclosure happens.
...depends upon the jurisdition: in my state, HOAs can foreclose for unpaid assessments but not for fines...
I was told it was federal, but I don't keep up with that stuff anymore, I've been HOA free for the last 9 years...
I too had never heard of the insane hatred on the poor dandelions before stumbling upon it online.
They should just eat more salad if it's such a problem.
Clearly someone who's never accidentally tasted dandelion milk.
I stole this meme from somewhere else so I really don't know anything about the backstory, so it could have been a grumpy neighbor for all I know.
