    Dandelions were brought to North America as a food crop. We can eat every part of the plant. They’re an invasive species, but not what I would consider a weed.

      Anything can be a weed. All a weed is it a plant growing is the wrong spot in the eyes of a human.

        Agreed, but Monsanto would love us to believe all kinds of plants are weeds so we buy their chemicals.

        A field of dandelion flowers is beautiful.
