[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of you are being disingenuous because you know perfectly well there is a population of old people who expect everyone's yard to look like a golf course. And many younger people don't care about things like dandelions. My pet peeves are giant yew shrubs tall enough to hide the windows, foot high grass, yellow grass from the three large dogs you have living in 1000 square feet of yard, and basically not caring at all. I have three neighbors like this and I never see any of them outdoors and these are people my age. I do have weeds but my yard is pleasant enough to enjoy most of the year and I'm always out there.

<sigh>  This is not an age specific issue.  I'm in my 50s, have replaced the turf in my front yard with pollinator friendly plants.  The neighbors on 3 sides are young couples who pay for lawn service and have monoculture grass.  This is a 'person' issue. [/quote]

So true. Such ageist stereotypes. Similar in my neighborhood. Also the ones who are using Mosquito Joe are the young couples. [/quote]
