Dandelions are so colorful, so cheerful — even delicious and nutritious. Why, then, does our culture label them landscaping enemy No. 1?
Not everyone loathes dandelions. Youngsters love their simple gladness and puffballs of soft seeds. The rare adult never unlearns that feeling.
At least one grown-up gardening guru still loves the pretty golden invaders, and is gently spreading the word about their joy and benefits, as well as how easy it is to manage them without chemicals.
