“I would rather die on my feet then live on my knees”

I kept cutting this down last year thinking it was a weed. This year I let it grow, glad I did.
It’s doing well considering I’m in central Alberta.
Learnt something new already and the day is still young.

It's a relative to the dandelion. Every weed, plant in your yard, you can eat, make tea, rub on your body. God doesn't make junk.

They are favorite for bees. I cut them down once the root starts to dry out, so it can spring new plants for the bees to enjoy. I used to clean out my farm of all weeds, then I found out I was destroying food and nutrition. And, I don't use pesticides anymore. I noticed as well that I get a lot of butterflies, and interesting birds. Once you make your yard suitable for anything to live there, you will get some of mother nature's finest.

Im the only one in my neighborhood that doesn’t spray for dandelions, but my neighbours are the older generation that believe in the perfect lawn.
Thanks for the info. Never noticed them before, glad I stopped to smell the salsify.
