    Dandelions are now basically considered native around most of the globe. There is compelling evidence both ethnobotany and genetic that dandelion are native to both Eurasia and North America.

    We planted redflower currant and the bees and bumblebees love the shit out of that. Also much prettier than dandelions. Redflower currant is the plant you want to fuck, dandelion is the one you have a chance with.

    there are a ton of less PITA pollinators than dandelions

    there is a pollinator 'round here that competes with the dandelion that is very dandelion like but actually houses native butterfly cocoons

    so the dandelions get ripped up round here

    I am entirely over ‘blank won’t fuck you’ as a response to shit. It’s cliched and trite and kills a conversation.
