I cannot help but think of Liberty Hyde Bailey's quote after reading this.

"The man who worries morning and night about the dandelions in the lawn will find great relief in loving the dandelions."

In my home, we make a digestive aid out of homemade dandelion wine, their roots, and a variety of other roots and herbs. It works and it's delicious (and cost effective!). Dandelion taproots mineralize and aerate the soil. I've been told by my mentors to plant the garden where the dandelions are growing. Sadly, my lawn has very few dandelions.

They are so healthy looking that I should consider planting where they grow best!
