We've got dandelion's coming up now. However, no way would I eat
anything from our back lawn, not with three dogs running around back
there, and not after a long, cold winter, with accumulated frozen waste
only just now thawing out and leaching away. The solids are removed and
disposed of routinely but the liquids remain. That's part of the reason
for springtime distemper and parvo epidemics.

Ngah... Ew!
