Did you know that there are species of dandelion? Or that the popularity of “weed and feed” has been depriving bees of an important spring wildflower? Me neither.
But I do know that kids and dandelions go together like chocolate and peanut butter. (pass the Reese’s.) So I’ve been planning to “put in” a dandelion patch for some time now. By which I mean, pick dandelions and let them go to seed in my yard. Awesome. That project is now underway.
