  Dandelion
is a perennial herb thought to be introduced from Europe and Asia. It is
now naturalized throughout the Northern Hemisphere and is considered a
major weed. All parts of the plant are edible but not particularly
tasty. Dandelion is believed to have healing
qualities and has been used around the world to treat a variety of
ailments.
Our main concern is to keep the flowers near the
gardens from going to seed and to pull out the plants the pop up in the
garden beds and paths. The kids love to see who can pull out the
longest root. The record in our gardens is 12". |
