I’ve been eating dandelion greens since I was a kid! Either raw or cooked it is delicious!
Hi Tracy here. Coming to you from Wellston Mich
Thank you for getting straight into it, not mentioning ‘grandma’, or ‘Amish’ and not being AI.

Birds use plantain to eat and preen their feathers with its oil…and in Muskoka, Ontario we had 5' of snow in February and the ground did not show itself until mid April…as of May 5, there is still a skiff of snow in a shaded spot on the north side of a hill. I have worked as a guide and nature educator, doing programs for all ages at different organizations my whole life. Its a shame that the school system does not prioritze this. It creates a love and connection with the Earth, our mother. It makes you wonder if this neglect is on purpose…waste of money right? How could big companies destroy the earth if people loved and protected it and its life-giving connection with…life (humans included)
I have used all of these.
