I HAVE RECENTLY UNEARTHED MY PARTIALLY BURIED BONNY WEE GARDEN ANTIQUES BUSINESS FROM ITS MOTH-BALLED HIDEY HOLE.
I just love DANDELIONS, those delicious vibrant yellow coloured FLOWERS--never weeds-that bring much joy to us garden lovers. During the previous three late summers ,armed with a large plastic box , I have roamed the encircling meadows close by my house to harvest the prolific growing seeds of the millions of DANDELIONS. Back home I received profound pleasure broadcasting the wondrous DANDELION seeds on my land. Isn't Mother Nature bounteous?

Sorry but I can't read your post because of the colour. I am on this site on a mobile, so I don't have the facility to change it to a standard black.
 
The word would be a dull place without dandelions to brighten it up - in the right places, of course!
 
i have hundreds in my garden at the moment and i hate the bloody things, it's people like you who let them grow and then let the clocks wander into gardens like mine...nevermind the yellow stuff....have some red stuff

Hundreds in your garden? So are you letting them grow? Time to get weeding, Flashy.
 
The beautiful DANDELION flowers brighten up this awful Spring!
From earliest times the DANDELION plant which is a herb have been used as medicines; used in delightfully tasty salads; for beer making, and for the manufacture of delicious DANDELION & BURDOCK pop!! There's not too many " real " garden plants which are beautiful as well as being nutritional!
 
Long abandoned stone quarry sites are happy hunting grounds for us DANDELION lovers. As I aim to pen an article on the manufacture of gritstone horse troughs-once commonplace alongside the old turnpikes- I would be DANDELION-Whoops!--I mean delighted to receive any details of the location of these old stone working sites anywhere in the Pennine region.

Bring on the Rabbits and goats

Mmm... a dish of dandelion greens would go nicely with a roast rabbit with sage and bacon (recipe by Delia!).

Actually goats aren't all that keen on soft green stuff - they prefer something more crunchy and will happily much on a tree's foliage. We once had five goats in a paddock surrounded by elder trees. Their favourite food was ivy but within a few years they had killed all the elders by eating the foliage and the bark. We were quite pleased as we wanted to get rid of the trees. The grass in the paddock was still two feet high though!
