Hey, you can make dandelion wine...or, you can wash them very good and use dandelion leaves in a salad...I think sparingly. Then, I know a lady who makes dandelion jelly, and it is delicious! The bees also love them, so try to linger as long as you can.

I suppose most of us do. Although, some flowering weeds are good polinators.

Weeds wilt after they are pulled. Milt doesn't!
