Apple blossoms wane
Cherry blossoms gain
Dandelions remain
Sprayed with death they scoff.
Seems it only pissed them off.

A most fun read with which I can identify. Why is it that only the plants you want to keep die from the herbicide? It seems that the weeds find it a fertilizer.
Thanks, SB. The apple and cherry trees in the poem do not bear fruit just blossoms.
lol don't you just hate that feeling. 🌹
I love dandelions - they were a delight as a kid blowing the seeds, and if I had the room, I'd grow pesticide free dandelions as the main constituent of my next health giving cuppa - move over chamomile. Still, as you say Jerry - plenty of fight in 'em yet.
Thanks, Dave. I do too bright little yellow spot. They make a tasty wine as well.
