Take for instance the animosity towards the Dandelion. I think they are rather pretty and bright. They grow just about anywhere and don't require replanting or reseeding. One can make a colourful bouquet or a refreshing wine and even a tossed salad. Of course for the latter two, you would want to ensure your crop came from and un-sprayed in every sense of the word place. So I proclaim April 29th National Love The Dandelion Day. Long may it bloom in its bright sunny glory : )NLTDD
OK - in your honor I'll let them live one more day........
ReplyDeletethank you my dear, what I am wondering is who got to decide what was going to be a weed and what would be called a plant...
ReplyDeleteYou can have all of mine!!
ReplyDeletelook at their beautiful little petal's....
ReplyDeletelook at my law,n ggggrrrrrrrr
ReplyDeleteA weed is generally something that grows wild and is invasive.....dandelions qualify because their seeds float everywhere and end up in places you don't want them...while most flowers have seeds that just fall next to the existing plants.
ReplyDeleteAnd those long lanky milky stems are really ugly when there isn't a flower on the end of them.
LOL I don't want them in my yard either.
ReplyDeleteThey choke out the good grass.
That is the reason I have Tru Green
coming out every month, to get rid of
those nasty suckers.
LOL
Ok Carol, they do make great dandelion wine, I don't know about the salads, I have never ate them like that....but they are a weed because they are ALL OVER the place where they are NOT wanted. They also choke out things that are wanted, like grass, and flowers.
ReplyDeleteIm sure if you really wanted a ard of these little dandy's, your neighbors would be happy to drop them on your lawn. The rest of us, would rather not have them at all. I think this may be your own private party of dandy lion fans.
