If you were to choose from the four seasons, which one would you go for? Well, there are those who would go for summer, for winter, and for fall. And there are also those who would go for spring because this season, they say, is about magic, miracles, and hope. They describe the season as such because of how it is able to bring back to life everything in the environment.

The flowers of the dandelion is what catches your attention. Beautiful as it may seem to be to other people, those who have lawns or gardens hate it because it is actually a weed. Its peak period comes during April to May. During this time, you would notice this perennial weed to show off its yellow flowers and its broad leaves.

Beauty is definitely something that dandelions have. But this weed also has some tricks that makes it thrive even when you do not want it to. One of the secrets that the dandelion has is its fleshy taproot. This one goes deep down so you will have to exert effort to take it out by hand. Also, this weed has yellow flowers that become puffy seeds during maturity. These seeds are then blown by the wind and are spread out so come spring next year, the dandelions on soil will again bloom.

Right now, the dandelions look good. But what if they spread and more grow? Would they still be as beautiful? Well, you can take them out manually but be sure to take out the taproot. Or you can also opt to apply herbicides every five to six weeks. Using herbicides may take a long time because it should be around six applications to thoroughly get it done.

There are ways that you can do to make sure that dandelions do not go growing in your lawn or garden come next spring. One of these is to apply pre-emergent herbicides around April so no germination happens. You can also try to mow your grass to the second highest setting. That way, the grass grows tall and it will crowd out any budding dandelions.
