I recently bought some dandelions from Herbcottage.com.au and they asked me to do a review. Here it is ⬇
Why I purchased Dandelions.
Never thought I would ever buy a ‘weed’!
Hubby and I have spent the last month building a large shade-house. It’s hot and dry where we are and trying to keep on top of insects without sprays is time consuming to say the least.
Those beautiful butterflies are abundant this year and i love watching them cavort around the garden. But their offspring are an entirely different matter! Rather than kill off the next generation of beautiful butterflies I choose to prevent access to my food crops. Thus the shade-house.
Dandelions and Marigolds are going to be spread thru-out the house for the resident bee hive i am going to put inside it.
The bonus…Dandelions are very high in vitamins A, B complex, C and D as well as the minerals iron, zinc and potassium.
Those, oh so good for me, leaves will become a staple ingredient in my juicing regime.
Did I mention dandelions are pretty, useful and good for you. The bees love them.
Dandelions should never be considered a weed! 🙂
