LYC: Apparently my yard is invaded with Queen Anne's Lace. I may have accidentally done some proper method to control. Been pulling by the roots

but I also mowed a huge part of the yard that had the plants sticking up and showing the white flower. Apparently around that time (though I may have been late) you are supposed to mow it so the seeds don't spread. Probably should've picked up the mowed parts though
