Or sow wild seeds and have a meadow then you would not see them:)

Rake it up - go left, right, up and down so it sticks up, then mow it. Use a weeding tool to get any left over bits. After a few turns it will be gone. You must always remove the flowers as there are hundreds of seeds in them and that is the beginning of next years problem sorted.

Pest to some but I like buttercups and daisies in the lawn

One years seeding - seven years weeding (think that's right!)
