Dandelions, from my experience, prefer the drought conditions. It allows them to grow a bigger root, then their leaves can get way huger. But they definitely benefit from added compost and nutrients.
The world can’t cater to everything 🙁 I’m sorry about what your family went through but we can’t tip toe around everything someone has a problem with. Its not personal
While it may look like I eat “random” plants. All the plants while may be growing randomly, are not just randomly being eaten. I encourage everyone to only eat plants they KNOW 110% are edible. All the plants I am eating in this video I have brought into my garden and allow them to grow so I can eat them.
My garden was overrun with purslane when my gardener was gone for a week. I had him harvest it for me and I have used it for making Green Smoothies! I have also frozen some to have to add to smoothies! It is delish!!!! Purslane is my first wild edible!!!
I have lots of purslane I guess I should make it my friend, but it is everywhere.. I haven’t tried it , does heat and drought make this one bitter.. I wonder! and lambs quarter galore..
You’re such a CRACK up! 🙂
