I would start to like them,and try to grown them bigger better and more of them!....when ever I try that approach with stuff in the garden ....stuff dies,its got to work that way for d-lions to .
If you have a Tractor Supply, they have a product especially for broad leaf weeds. It will not kill your grass. I have used it around our pond and barn as well as our four acre backyard. No grass was killed. But it will kill anything else it touches including small trees. It is sold in a concentrate for around $75. You will also need to keep small animals off the yard for several hours. Strong stuff but really works.
Why mess with them ? I like to see then in bloom. After they go to seed, not so much. Brightens up the yard, and you can mow just before they hit the seed stage.

How many peckers can a Pecker Checker check if a Pecker Checker could check peckers? (stolen from shootinurse)

Seriously? You OBVIOUSLY don't have the Carolina broadleaf variety. They will literally spread to over 1 foot in diameter, before long there is ZERO grass and nothing but the boardleaf's.
I got a little lax last year and I'm paying for it this year. Darn things are seriously trying to take over. Weed b gone works well like the others have said, but the county weed and pest dept sells 2,4 D concentrate cheaper than Wal-Mart.
Stupidity is expensive If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
Weed n feed seems to be a cruel joke, what is the secret to getting rid of the yellow lawn weeds?
Weed N Feed is a total joke - just a way to separate money from homeowners..
I have to assume you have a Fleet Farm store up there somewhere.. Go to the "farm" section and look for the herbicide section.. The product is "Gordons" , yellow and red label, the the name is "Amine-400"
It's 46.47% active ingredient 2-4-D, and the proper mix is about one quart/acre using a minimum 10 gallons water mix/acre..
I just sprayed my lawn twice inside 2 weeks; the dandelions were easy, but the Mouse-Eared Chickweed is a tough sob to eradicate..
The second spraying I upped the concentration a bit to 1.25 qts/acre.. The little bastids are finally turning brown, but I bought another 2.5 gallons of concentrate so I can hit 'em again in mid-fall..
I hate freakin' weeds in a lawn...
