Its Dandelion Season.. with this comes weeding. As I was removing this pesky "weed" from my garden, I thought about what an incredible plant it is. Many chemical companies have made special formulas to remove it, and have been unsuccessful. I have tried to dig it out, but still the next week it arrives back in the same spot, just as big. So, Why are we trying to eliminate something so amazing? Do you know its a food source, as you can consume every part of a dandelion? It is used for stomach and liver remedies in holistic medicine . It grows fearless, planting its roots deep in the earth. Every season without water or fertilizer it is the very first flower to arrive. It spreads its seeds through the air, with tiny parachutes, and if you look through the eyes of a child, its beautiful. I think we should be more like this hearty frost proof plant. No matter what happens, no matter what conditions are thrown at us , we are always first to arrive, deeply rooted, and flowering in the spring with a wiliness to heal. Think about that next time you are digging for the roots....
