Send them to me! In California, when we stopped watering lawns because of the endless droughts, the weeds were happy to take over and every one of them is stabby, prickly, and grabs your socks. One variety is known for puncturing tires! (Glad I don’t have that one.) But dandelions, sweet dandelions: pretty yellow flowers, they feed the bees, and though they may not be grass they are little-kid friendly and inviting. So much friendlier. They’ll never hurt you.

D. Andy Lion isn’t lying — he just didn’t mention the rhizomes, whereby his clones can take over the whole planter.

Opportunity for The Little Gardener to begin producing his own Dandelion and Burdock soda… Been years since I’ve tasted that… and Cream Soda…

Good morning Crew!
Gee thanks, Chip! You have given the Dandelion a personality! Now I can’t pick them and cook them up anymore in a hot bacon dressing. :-(
