Dandelion weeding

Our front lawn is rather infested with dandelions, which create rather unsightly patches which stand out because the dandelion leaf is lower than the thatch of the grass! Today we set about removing a lot, and filled a large trug in the process.

Update – apparently a lot of are dandelions aren’t dandelions at all, but are in fact hawkweed (family Asteraceae), though they look quite similar and are equally unwelcome on our lawn!
