Of course I did regret putting houseplants out. I cover them at night right now. I just thought the blooming ones especially would enjoy the heat and sun--then it chilled off on us. The reason I am sure it is spring is not the...

Dandelions

Always smiling @allknowing (153544) • India 4 Dec 24

A field of dandelions

Always smiling @allknowing (153544) • India 1 Dec 23

Looking at this image it confuses me as to why there should be a field of dandelions when dandelions are considered to be a weed. No doubt dandelions can be eaten but the question arises as to why anyone would want to maintain a...

Do you know what dandelions are good for?

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169449) • United States 8 Apr 17

They are good for salads, and wine, and a kidney and liver cleanser tea and for a coffee replacement.. Oh and they are good for honey bees. Yay. If we did not have honeybees we would end up with very limited amounts of...

Dandelions - Not Only Weeds

Anna @LadyDuck (502392) • Italy 3 Apr 16

It's Dandelion Season Again!

Kyla Matton Osborne @Ruby3881 (1963) • Canada 2 Apr 16

I'm not sure just when it is I really feel in love with dandelions. It may be when I ran through fields of yellow wildflowers as a child, or when I picked that first bouquet of dandelions to give to Mom. It may be when I had my...

This is a shot of a weed in my lawn. I hate weeds. But how can you hate something as beautiful as this. I am getting old and have forgotten what this weed is called, but if there is a flower then I don't consider it a weed....

Yesterday, I scoped out the situation. Chives are up, winter garlic is partway grown, dandelion greens are nice and small, and some of the mint leaves are nice looking out there. Since I didn't do maple syrup (no time and...

Here, it's mainly lambsquarter, wild salsify (leaves) and dandelion blossoms. It's getting late for dandelion leaves, but I picked some and cut the rib out to get rid of the bitter taste. A friend sent me some daylilies so I...

Difficulties with gathering, do you have any? Mine would be other people's

writersedge @writersedge (22563) • United States 26 May 09

attitudes/lack of understanding/thinking things should be a different way, not sure how to put it. Before I mow my lawn, I gather or at least check out a 4 foot section. Then I gather, mow, and rest. Usually that's about all I...
