In the Eyes of a Child – Dandelions
A while back we went on a school field trip with our nieces & nephew on the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad.
While we were waiting for the train our nephew found a dandelion. He though it was the most wonderful thing and carried it around all day. It was his prized possession.
I don’t mind dandelions in my yard, but many people view them as noxious weeds. They are willing to spray toxic chemicals all over their yards just to have a dandelion free zone. I think they’re kind of pretty and since we have an organic chemical free lawn here at Chiot’s Run we have a few dandelions. Perhaps this coming spring I’ll start eating the greens as a way to keep the population under control.
What do you think, noxious weed or beautiful flower? Anyone eating dandelion greens?
I don’t spray the lawn because of my cats. It seems they like to eat the grass once in a while and it would be too difficult to keep all the cats off the lawn right after the spraying. So my lawn has some dandelions and I don’t mind since the flowers are pretty. Dandelions make great salad so you should try it. I get mine from the market though.
