Happy dandelion day to all who celebrate (mostly ruminants)

Your table is ready, friends. (If you like to eat grass and dandelions, that is.)
@sundogplanets They seem so happy!

@sundogplanets Dandelion greens are great for eating in salad. They sell them in the health food stores for those in urban areas.
@EricFielding @sundogplanets $$$expensive. You can make the flowers into wine, if you really wanted, too.

@ai6yr @EricFielding @sundogplanets Dandelion roots make a nice-tasting tea, also.

@EF We call these wonderful wild herbs 'pissenlit' in France because as medicine they are good for the bladder and kidneys. 🤫
@NatureMC @ennenine @sundogplanets indeed. From the c15 as they were used as a diaretic.
Manger les pissenlits par la racine also amuses me as the French version of pushing up the daisies.

@sundogplanets the dandelions are trying to repair the soil. Aerating and pulling up nutrients with their long taproot. Your soil is probably calcium deficient. It’s not a native, but not sure why it gets a bad rap otherwise. Lawn propaganda #killyourlawn

@woodenmachines Wasn't trying to imply dandelions are bad in any way at all.

@sundogplanets sorry, didn’t mean to sound like it was directed at you. Just wanted to share that they pop up for a reason.

@woodenmachines Thank you. For a minute there I thought perhaps someone had just mansplained dandelions to me... (I live on an organic farm on the Canadian prairies. I LOVE dandelions!)

@EricFielding
The greens are diuretic. That's why they're called 'pissenlit' in French and 'Bettsächer' in some areas of Germany (both meaning piss-in-bed).They're quite tasty, by the way. My grandparents used to harvest them on their meadows (I'm just not sure when they did so… I guess before the bloom)

@sundogplanets upon further reflection… does sound a bit mansplainish. Sorry, be well

@sundogplanets I have a pet lizard (blue-tongue skink) who *loves* dandelions. He's generally grown to be a picky eater with age, and I sometimes have to trick him into eating his leafy greens, but he will almost always take dandelions.
-
@sundogplanets love this! Many people consider them weeds, but I thinkt they're pretty, particularly when you take a close look at all the intricate petals. Also not just tasty for goats .. Have you every tried making dandelion jelly? It's surprisingly tasty!
@ennenine @sundogplanets They're pretty important for pollinators since they bloom in spring when flowers can be difficult to find.

@ai6yr @EricFielding @sundogplanets When I was a very small child, I used to collect dandelion blossoms for a neighbor who made it into wine. We were paid in her homemade cookies.

@sbourne @ai6yr @EricFielding @sundogplanets I've had the blossoms fried as well, delicious
