“Wildflower” of the month – September

That’s right! The wildflower of the month would have to be the dandelions (or more officially, Taraxacum)that have seemingly invaded the far reaches of the short grass this month.

I do actually quite like them as flowers, and the way they hide when the sun’s not out is really cool. But I really don’t want them in my lawn! Just about time to go chop all their heads off with the push mower before they go to seed.

Although it does seem that they are also completely edible, so as we’re short of dinner material maybe I’ll make a dandelion salad. Bec’s always saying she wants salad for tea. I’m sure she’ll love it!
