Drowning in Dandelions

It’s coming to the end of dandelion season here on P.E.I. You know, when the cheery yellow sprites turn a cute, fuzzy white and then transform into ugly stems.

This year, there’s an initiative called No Mow May. I guess it started with the UK-based charity Plantlife and has been taken up by nature groups all over the world. By passing on mowing for a month, you’re supposed to help insects, in particular bees, and the ecology get a healthy start for the season.

As much as we like bees and the environment, with a ton of acres to mow, we can’t let the spring grass get away from us. Unfortunately, that means many, many dandelions are innocent victims in our attempts to keep lawns and fields reasonably under control. Don’t worry though, there’s always plenty of dandelions around. And the bees aren’t wanting for food according to the number we host every year.

This May, however, we are unintentionally participating in “no-mowing.” Our sit-on tractor/mower had a snit and needed to go into the shop for some TLC.

So, the farm’s become dandelion central.

Some people consider them weeds. In town the other day, I saw a man with what I can only imagine was some kind of herbicide in a container slung over his shoulder direct spraying the (maybe five or six) yellow dots on his lawn. He would have a conniption if he saw our place. I mean, we have MILLIONS.

Others like dandelions for the cute little flower they are. 

Then there are those handy homemakers who put them to good use making wine, salves, teas, baked goods, pesto, jelly.

We don’t do any of those things. We simply enjoy them as pretty harbingers of the coming summer months. And the horses find them delectable.

But, man, we can’t wait to get our mower back to knock ’em down good.
