We have finally moved towards spring, and with the sun and light comes the surprises in the yard. This year it's a nasty little buggar called onion grass. And from what we can tell, the only way to get rid of it, is to dig them up and pull out the bulbs. Otherwise they will flower and spread until it overtakes the whole lawn. The only problem is that this is the FRONT yard we're talking about, and the "storefront" of Heidi's businesses.... So the digging it up has become my main job, and let me tell you, I am declaring WAR!!!! Onions are nice and may look pretty but they have no business invading our yard! Now, the biggest challenge will be to make sure the lawn survives, so I'm alternating patches of digging and make sure to water the patches that have been dug. But some of the places are already turning yellow... We are hopeful though, that we've started early enough that with the rain and sun alternating every few days, we'll be successful..

Uggghhh... they were in our yard too and they came back every year. It DID always seem impossible to get all of the little bulbs though. Hopefully you have better luck.
