Dandelions

In addition to my posts about Kerri and mine's organic gardening, this is a "mini-post" detailing how much our lizards love dandelions! Even though dandelions are the enemy of 1950's lawn-scaping, this under appreciated weeds contains tons of Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin K,  and Calcium.


As you may or may not have wondered, "what about weed killers?"
Since dandelions are a part of Pierce, Pogo, Bowser, and Odin's diets, neither Kerri nor I use chemicals in our yards. Having said that, it would be naive to pick any and all wild weeds in the neighborhood because there is a risk of chemical contamination. I'm not above buy food at the store, but I do feel great feeding my animals straight from the yard.

Can you see Pierce devouring his treats?

Believe it or not, dandelions can be good for people's health too! All those Vitamins and Calcium-
