Not to interrupt more pressing matters, but has anyone in the eastern US seen these former annoyances lately? Looking out my front window in Vermont, the dandelions ordinarily outnumber the grass. Not this year. Almost none have blossomed. Conspicuous in their absence here in New England. Any other gardeners noticing this trend. Is it cyclical or is it suspicious? Brought over by the British as ornamental flowers, they spread into a continental menace. Are they going the way of the polar bear? Will they take the thistle with them?
