To Dandelion Or To Not Dandelion?
At one time, I abhorred even the word. Our lawn is chemical-free so has always sported many. I’d spend hours on my butt, hand “weeding,” to then learn they were beneficial to our early emerging (from winter naps) bees — not a perfect food source, but since we plant so […]
