I am from the northwest! - I know how it goes with mowing and rain! I bet you're exaggerating about how bad it looks. I bet they are just regular sized dandelions ;~D
I can take a picture! It's shocking.
And I still haven't used the weedwhacker this year...which is a bad thing. And then I WAS going to clear away some brush and maybe start a path down the hill so I can eventually do a rock garden.
You'd think with just a postage stamp of a lot to landscape...I'd do better.
Nah, they're jungle sized, cause I've got em too!
