Crimson and clover

The ladies over at Garden Rant are red in the face over a campaign by Scotts MiracleGro to eradicate clover and dandelions from our lawns with their search and destroy chemical approach.

Take a read.

When I was a kid, my dad had so much clover in his yard that one of our neighbors - who fussed over his lawn until it was perfection -- made a "bee hive" out of a cardboard box and stuck it in the middle of our yard to tease my dad.

That was 50 years ago. Scotts might be a bit behind the times.
