But it has nothing to do with dandelions, which I miss very much.
They're loaded with vitamins C and K, folic acid; calcium, magnesium,
and iron; phytosterols, pigments, and carotenoids, and the buds and
flowers are as tasty as the leaves and roots.  The leaves are bitter
when they're mature (which I like), but not when they're young.

  We don't have them down here in southern Florida, but we do have
plenty of other nice "weeds," known only to the cognoscenti.  I do eat
them, but I never "eradicate" them!  ;-)
