You don't?! My place is covered, not the tall ones yet, which I guess is when they bloom... Is that the key "blooming"?

Meh, I need to mow already. I had dandelions blooming a couple days ago. I have seen reports of blacks in Southern OH already.

Mine is getting close to mowing already but its still a swamp. It will have to keep growing since I'd bury my zero turn.

I just saw two dandelions in bloom. I pointed them out to the boy that was helping me and he said his little brother found a couple little blacks yesterday. I'll wait. They have to be up pretty good before I find em.
Don't forget the expensive crabgrass killer fertilizer! I refuse to use a lawn service company that makes the grass grow fast so they pocket more green stuff.\
Don't forget, Dandelion leaves are better than lettuce in a salad !!

I refuse to use any lawn service company, my husqvarna tractor does just fine.
Some lawns it's not a bad idea for a lawn service. By the time you pay for a nice mower, fuel, and time, that small cost is worth it. Sometimes even cheaper.
That's 2 hours a week that I don't ever get back, but it does give me a good reason to drink some beer.
My two d As neighbors with 1/4 acre lawns are paying $50 each mowing. I worked at 36 hole golf course for 5 years while attending college. I know how to mow all kinds of grass and weeds.

How hard is one of those to get going? I hate the stuff, but everyone else seems to love it.

Not hard at all. Made a raised bed out of 2" x 10", added some PH balanced soil, planted seed rows 3 years ago and they've been coming up each Spring. Oh, add straw in the fall for cover. It takes about 3-5 years to establish mature plants.
Yes aparagus will grow from seeds but it takes a minimum of 3 years to get some to edible size. You can also buy "crowns" (roots) that are already 3 or more years old. Its not unusual for asparagus to produce up to 50 years with only minimal care.
The idea is once you find morels growing, look around and see what other plants and trees are doing, like apple trees blooming, skunk cabbage, other mushrooms and fungi. lawn mowing etc.

Is that the big leaf plant that comes up about 16-18"? I always seem to see those around when I find them.
