remember being little and thinking dandelions were fun or a pretty color or something and every adult in an 80 mile radius wouldn’t let you say that without screaming ITS A WEED
also like:
- dandelions are edible, easy to grow, and are rich in vitamins a, c, k, beta-carotene, calcium, iron, manganese, and potassium
- dandelions can be made into wine, tea, soft drinks, and a coffee substitute
- they are used in herbal remedies to treat liver and digestive problems and as a diuretic
- they’re good for bees!
- they make good companion plants for various herbs and tomatoes; their long taproot helps bring up nutrients in the soil and they release ethylene gas which ripens fruit
- dandelions secrete latex which means they can be used to make natural rubber
- they make great flower crowns
Why ARE they considered a weed? They’re a good flower? Who decided they were bad? =(
lawn culture made the decision to consider dandelions weeds
