Dandelion fields forever

[greencross]

Yes, it's spring when you start seeing all green!

And specially yellow for a couple of weeks when the Dandelions flower all at the same time.

Dandelion leaves offer a good source of supplementary protein compared to other sources such as vegetable and fruits

I made this photo with a BQ Aquaris M5 in my neighborhood

No wonder cows love it.

Okay, so now I'm supposed to eat dandelion leaves?! :)

Well, at least those can be found in abundance. I knew eventually I'd find a use for some of the 'weeds' that keep popping up in my yard. Any use for crab grass and thistles?

[greencross]

Heheeh well, for sure you can eat them when there's no other option! :)

And Thistle Weed is a powerful medicine, besides also containing a high protein ratio!!!! Whaaaat! I didn't know about this. Check this out.

We have been conditioned so badly!. Every plant has an use :)

Nice! Forget about keeping the lawn nice (okay, maybe the front yard still so the neighbors don't complain too loudly). I might have to just look into some farm land and start harvesting the weeds! :)

[greencross]
