(121,416 posts)21. Her yard is a certified wildlife habitat, NOT "she is lazy". it
is fairly obvious that you pay no attention to the environmental toll that the passion for useless green lawns causes, which is a pity. And, by the way, I do not know where you live (clearly, not next door to me, Goddess be thanked), but where I live, dandelions are EVERYWHERE, especially in spring. And, equally clearly, you know nothing about the beneficial uses of those beautiful (look at them closely) little plants, every part of which is useful. The leaves are used raw in salads, or brewed as a tonic to clear winter sludge. The flowers are made into dandelion wine and jelly. And the dried roots are used for intestinal issues. Many nurseries sell many different varieties of dandelions, so, no, they have not been eliminated.

It is strange that you don't see dandelions anymore. They used to be everywhere.

Just my personal experience: people who live in HOAs tend to be the "ma freedom" types.

Could be. But everyone no matter what must comply or they get kicked out of fined.
