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

• They make great honey

“lawn culture” is such an interesting concept!

I can definitely see my neighbour back home embody it. We live in a rural area but he’s desperate to live like it’s the suburbs, and he’s trying to coerce the land around his house into being a uniform grassy lawn. So he blasts the hell out of it with herbicide and he kills the grass too, along with the lovely wildflowers. So he just has bare dirt that flows away down the hill when it rains, and he gives the bees nothing to eat.

He’s offered to spray my family’s property too, but my anti-lawn hippie dad politely but firmly declined.

Team dandelion for the fucking win!!!
