The dandelion is a unique flower that symbolizes the sun, moon, and stars. The yellow part of the flower represents the sun, the puffball is a symbol of the moon, and the dispersing seeds resemble stars. The dandelion opens in the morning and closes in the evening.

Every part of the dandelion plant is useful, including its root, leaves, and flower, which can be utilized for food, medicine, and dyeing purposes. Until the 1800s, people used to remove grass from their lawns to make room for dandelions and other beneficial "w**ds" like chickw**d, malva, and chamomile. The word "dandelion" comes from the French word "dent de lion," meaning lion’s tooth, and they have one of the longest flowering seasons among all plants. Dandelion seeds can travel up to five miles from their origin, and animals such as birds, insects, and butterflies consume the nectar or seeds of the dandelion.

Dandelion flowers do not need pollination to produce seeds. They were known to ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans, and used in Chinese traditional medicine for over a thousand years. In folk medicine, dandelions are used to treat infections and liver disorders. Dandelion tea works as a diuretic.

Dandelions are among the most successful plants in existence, surviving worldwide. Every year, countries spend millions of dollars on lawn pesticides to maintain uniform lawns of non-native grasses, and 30% of the country's water supply is used to keep them green.

I'm appreciating learning new skills in advance of our re-launch next spring. I'd rather be out in nature than on my computer though 💚🤣💚🐝🐛🦋🦉💚

How quickly the wild edges are engulfing the compost loo! It has been somewhat neglected since spring. Yesterday, I began the process of gently clearing it, getting it ready for our re-launch next spring. 💚💚

Lots of lovely creatures enjoying the nettles 💚

“Hello, I'm a dandelion. A lot of people call me a w**d but I'm a friend and come to help you!

When you see me, remember that I'm the ONLY one who wants and can grow in that particular spot. Because:

Either the soil is too compact / hard / stomped and I want to loosen it for you with my roots.

Or there is too little calcium in the soil - don't worry, I will replenish that for you with the dying of my leaves.

Or the soil is too acidic. But I will also improve that for you if you give me the chance.
Or a mixture of the above reasons, of course.

I'm here because your soil needs my help so best you let me grow without disturbing me! When everything is fixed, I will disappear again, I promise!

Are you trying to remove me prematurely with my root? However meticulous you are, I will return 2x as strong! Just until your soil is improved.

You can even tell by my growth at which stage my help is at. If my leaves are flat on the ground then I'm far from ready but if they all reach up then I'm already a long way on my way.

Something completely different is that I am 1 of the first bloomers in spring so I will announce spring / summer for you.

During the day when it's hot, I open my flowers but in the evening when it cools off I close them again quickly. In fact, if it's not hot enough during the day I won't open them at all!

My flowers are the first food for insects after hibernation and unlike most other plants, I have pollen AND nectar, not merely one OR the other! And I am generous with them!

My flowers are even delicious for you people by the way, did you know? I used to be called ′′honey (or gold) of the poor′′ because my flowers are so sweet in e.g. jam, sauce or salad! The internet is full of
recipes - check them out.

But wait until the end of May or later before you start picking and even then, don't pick everything yet! The biodiversity and bees will be very grateful!”
