My neighbor saves money by never having to mow his lawn with a thick carpet of dandelions. It's wonderful watching millions of seeds fly onto my green lawn with the slightest breeze.
I love watching Goldfinch feasting on the dandelions
i live in crete and dandelions are prized here, as are many so called weeds. there is only one word for these "horta" which means edible greens (generally wild greens) and make up "hortopita" wild greens pies which are delicious. we were invited to a creatan home for easter and the grandmother "yiayia" had picked the horta herself and made the pies. thank you for defending these wonderful little plants
How lucky to live on a Greek island. People in Meditteranean countries definitely seem to be more in tune with nature and eating natural food. I haven't been to Crete but my sister lived in Athens for a while so I have a great liking for Greece in general. I once ate fresh, field to table food, under a vine half way up a mountain. It was supposedly a restauraunt but was really more just like a very rustic farmhouse. One of the best meals I ever had.
if you ever get the chance you should come to crete. i have a field where i raise chickens for eggs which i sell to neighbours and a taberna in the village. i am trying to grow purely natural food (not "organic") and stumbled upon your channel while looking into making fertilizer from natural plants that i have. needless to say, you have a new subscriber lol. @@JillBretherton
@@owenthomas5876 It's pretty much 100% certain I will come to Crete one day. Hopefully sooner rather than later. I really want chickens but there is one important reason why I haven't go them yet (also why I am not going on holiday lately) which I haven't mentioned on my channel because it's a secret for now! ha ha. Anyhow I love the sound of the way you live. Definitely right up my street and on a lovely warm island too. Thanks for subscribing!
good luck @@JillBretherton
Thank you Jill . Really learned a lot about this 'pesky ' weed I have so much of . Have never composted them as was afraid I would be spreading them back but will do now . Not sure I can bring myself to let them grow though ! 😄
A couple of years ago I learned a lot of this about dandelions. I now have to stop my Dad from trying to dive them one everytime he visits. My little kid likes that early burst of colour in the garden not mention the joy of blowing the seed heads around.
They are such pretty flowers. I just don't get why they are so disliked. I think alot of it is to do with conditioning. People have been conditioned to think they are bad when they are exactly the opposite of bad. Anyhow, glad you love them too. Thank for watching.
My parakeets love Dandelion leaves. I pick the leaves daily for them. Tasty and so nutritious. Happy Keets!
They have so many benefits it's a wonder they have become so demonised (here in the UK anyway)
Here in central New York, USA They try to teach everyone that they must have a green grass lawn. And oh no not any ‘weeds’ in your lawn. We always had weeds as they grew the best in our clay soil and over time I have learned many weeds are good for us. I just cooked up some purple dead nettle and mixed with scrambled eggs.
I have also mixed dandelion lvs with other greens. Later summertime the purslane comes up. And daisy leaves taste like salad to me. So many other plants the our father in heaven has made for all of us. So glad.
That kind of mentality kills me. The "sanitisation" of the earth to meet silly human sensibilities drives me bonkers. The earth literally cannot survive if we keep wiping it clean of all life that we don't approve of. Thanks for sharing your comment. Here in the UK some cities are letting green spaces grow wild and it's beautiful. We have daisies and dandelions everywhere even in urban areas. I am so glad you enjoyed your weeds and scambled eggs. MOst likely more nutritious than anything you can buy in the supermarket.
Very interesting 👍 I love dandelions. I even grow them in a box on a my kitchen window. They're so healthy to eat.
Exactly. They’re fantastic.
They used to make rubber out of dandalions white juice too.
Did they? I didn’t know that. I just google it. This plant is even more incredible than I realised.
Fantastic information and lovely plant..
Thank you very much really interesting.
You are very welcome.
very informative!
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching.
and they are lifesavers for emerging bees , bugs.
Absolutely. I love them.
So the milk doesn’t make you wet the bed then??!!!!
Never heard of that before but I can safely say despite all my dealings with dandelions I haven't wet the bed. 🤣🤪
@@JillBretherton yeah! Honestly this was what I was told when I was growing up with my grandparents.
Dont lick the milk or you’ll wet yourself/the bed. Even if it got on our fingers it was life or death if the grownups found out!
Dandelions like lettuce are a diuretic and can make you wee. So your grandparents were right but it has to be eaten!!
@@helenyoung8012 naaaa. Never ate them. Don’t want risk wetting myself generally!! X
@@helenyoung8012 if you have water retention ot could a great solution then.
dandelion leave taste better when young, when it bolts the leaves become bitter, i grow them with my lettuce and spin.
Nice. Thanks fro sharing and watching.
