I saw a cartoon with the caption, "Secrets of Gardening". The sketch was of two caterpillars. One is about to bite a plant stem and the other interjects: "No! Stop! That one's a weed!"
Dandelions: Bitch, please.
I love dandelions. More specifically, my bearded dragons love their leaves, so I've been harvesting rather than spraying them with weed killer, and (in the meantime) looking up the shockingly extensive uses and applications of this not-a-weed.
+Doyce Testerman Oh, yes, definitely a plant of many uses.
That said, it's a weed because it's horribly invasive (and anything is, by definition, a weed if it's growing where you don't want it). I've often thought, though, that if the foliage were more attractive, a lot dandelions would be cultivated as garden flowers.
