Why do we hate dandelions?

+ food for tortoises, guinea pigs and hens.

 

They are beautiful. If they weren't as common as, well, dandelions, we'd probably be willing to pay handsomely for one of those indestructible taproots.

I am fond of them but there are other intractable weeds that I hate much more (dock, thistle, wood avens) that don't get the same opprobrium.

 

I feel I should know where that pic is Shiney. Looks very Devony.

 

Sidmouth. I was there yesterday, but my camera battery went flat trying to take pics of shy Egrets on the Axe along the way there. Also also saw the donkeys.

 

...And Lolimacs

 

Blimey, we were just up the road from you at Escot. The Egrets nest in the woods near us along with the Herons.

 

Dandelions are good for telling the time too

 

Whats the Time Mrs L?

 

Sorry Zigster can't tell you that untill they go to seed....till then time stands still

Aw Ziggy how the 'eck do you expect me to know what 'planck time' is ....before you say it....i've already read the link ...i'l stick to blowing on dandelions

 

Ask me later....I'm busy.

 

Whatever you do - don't feed them.
