Yeah, I've noticed it aswell. Conditions must be right for them. Poaching early in the year, followed by all the dry weather.

seems that they are toxic in the green, but not in hay/silage.

as for lawn, spray with verdone. You will be surprised as to how much grass you have in between. It also means less cutting as they flowers are now waving in the window at you all the time!
