Now to get all that has migrated to flower and veggie beds.

It is a pretty thing when it's blooming. <br />It makes me think again about what we call weeds. I have some cultivated lamium in my yard that I bought. They are not weeds. Native lamium is. I guess a "weed" is whatever we didn't plant and don't want. People are kind of nuts sometimes.

I'd probably pass on eating it, though Bob's grandmother loved dandelion greens. I often think of her when I'm battling mine. We're due for more snow - happy gardening.
