Weeding the Garden

dribble of warm earth weeds piling up and wilting deep satisfaction

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!
