The rest is all balance...<BR/>Dandelions are an annual. If we honoured them for the medicine that they are, and welcomed the show of yellow heads and picked them all, and then dug the roots when they're fat and ripe, well, they wouldn't be a weed anymore! We'd be planting the seeds to keep them going!
