March 28th is Weed Appreciation Day! Before you call your “hook up”, you may want to make a stop at Home Depot or Lowe’s. We’re not talking about the weed that made your college years a blur. We’re talking about the weeds that make your front lawn a mess! We realize some weeds may have you fooled into thinking they’re pretty ::cough:: ::cough:: dandelions, so take a moment to appreciate those lovely little pests that prevent you from having the best lawn in the neighborhood!
