Ask a Southerner about their favorite store-bought ice cream, and you’ll find a good few who swear by Blue Bell. It’s no surprise, really—the Brenham, Texas, creamery has a long history of serving the South. Blue Bell has been in operation since 1907, when local businessmen decided to capitalize on the excess cream coming in from local farmers by making butter. After a few years, they began ice cream production, which took off amid Texas summers. Now, over 115 years later, Blue Bell has become synonymous with the Southern ice cream aisle and can be found in 23 states, primarily across the Southeast.

Weeds are particularly unruly and pervasive in the South; we have the combination of extreme temperatures, frequent rain, and high humidity to thank for that. Together, all three make the perfect breeding ground for common weeds like dallisgrass, dandelions, crabgrass, spurge, and nutsedge (which most experts advise to never pull!). Despite your efforts to eradicate these eyesores with chemicals, sprays, and even planting flowers that deter weeds from your garden, they typically grow back with a vengeance with an even bigger tuber or root. To get rid of dandelions and other inexorable weeds once and for all, it’s best to address the literal root of the problem.
