Yes! I wish more municipalities would stop spraying their grassy areas. Health would improve! Why did the city stop treating the weeds? Did people object? There would be a tax savings. Next we have to stop the fluoride in municipal water.

Dandelions are a very early food source for both bees and humans. Super useful and important plant. It's pretty too. I have no idea why it's so reviled, except that it destroys the much less interesting grass it grows in.

I want bees to find my yard right at the beginning of the season, and for them to put my little plot on their flight paths early. I'm having an excellent year in the veggie garden this year, as if I have to do less work for more food. Ruth Stout style! I love her. I think you were the one who introduced her to me, no?
