I am curious. Why? How? I am no fan of the plant, by the way, but it is pretty harmless.

I also like dandelions. Some of our most interesting plants are considered "weeds," but I have to admire how they seem to thrive when weather conditions for the stuff we grow on purpose can't survive. Some years ago I and several others were privileged to be in a conversation with a fellow who had studied dandelions. What he had to say was very interesting and it was a long ways from being a short conversation!

Some of those "weeds" are probably more nutritious than the produce in the supermarket.

Probably so, from what I have read some are much better. I think I will try the Henbits today. Just to taste and see what they are like. I wanted to get more pictures but it clouded up and rained today so later on this week I will see how they look. But all in all, it is nice to life and color during winter.
Thank you for the reply brother.
Bruce.

Take the time to make a 100% positive ID on the plant before consuming it - the local extension service is a good resource, and sometimes the county government will have an expert.

You are correct, they are tasty and great in a salad. If you have enough of them they make wonderful wine also and No cultivating required. Nice shots

I think we take much for granted in this world we live in including Gods gifts to us if the form of plants and beneficial plants. I got this book last year called Free Food and Medicine. Worldwide edible plant guide. Edible Plant Guide. by Markus Rothkranz. Very good book..
So many plant we see considered weeds are very good for us.
Thank you relying and I know this is a late reply from me but I have been busy.
