The Root of All Evil.

I'm no gardener. My yard, while not necessarily the bane of the neighborhood, is no beacon. Yesterday I got out in the yard to do a bit of yard maintenance, and plant some Zinnias. Weeds are what I'm really good at growing, though. The yard's eat up with 'em. Check out the root on this monster. The weeds ultimately won this battle, as I caked out after a short time, but I got this guy and a few of his buddies first.

What you need are some Snap Dragons, can't kill those things, even mom could grow them.

If only dandilions became popular.

And I'd forgotten about the snapdragons. Off to the flower shop...

For the record, that dandelion you pulled will live again. You didn't get the whole root (in the picture, it is broken off and will regrow). If you really hate them, WeedBGone works great.

Personally, I like dandelions. Creeping charlie and crabgrass on the other hand...
