Dandelions-Not A Weed! I made Tea! pg 3

[pale towodi]

Dandelion root shows to be good against cancer, too. The money hungry corporations and government will eventually try to keep the people from getting any if they can't find a way to make money off of it and control it.

Quote baymule: murky, alge, pond water green~ Listen to this: Hi, Would you like to come over for a cupa Alge, pond water green tea?

There is a tall variety with a blue flower. Endive is, I'm told, a dandelion.

Chicory is certainly in the dandelion family (it technically isn't endive unless and until it's been blanched) in that they are both members of the Asteracae (daisy) faimly. Whether or not you consider it a dandelion depends on where you draw the line with regards to what is and is not a dandelion. They're both in the same tribe (Chicoridae) but the "official" dandelion is in a different subtribe, Crepide as is the Hawksbeard (and lettuce).

I was racking my poor little pea brain on that one! haha

Bay, I prefer the tall dandelions that you grow. Those look like real flowers! haha

Agree, tall dandelion flowers don't like the vermin dandelions we face....

Do they make a puffball Bay?

Do they make a puffball Bay?

Yes they do! That's why I let them stay in my garden, years ago. I remembered what fun it was to find the puff ball, as a kid, and as a grown up-I still like to find the puff ball and blow on it.

@valley ranch you have chicory! I want seeds, I will order them online. I want to plant chicory too, it makes a great forage plant also.
