In Michigan they are a nuisance for people who like to have perfect lawns. When you pull them out. If you don't get all of the long tap root. They will just come back. In a nice subdivision of homes, you were judged by if you kept your yard cleared of dandelions.Probably they eat them before they can flower. I would do a big deep flower pot and get some free seeds. You aughtta see how big the roots can grow. I tried googling the difference between my 2 but so far I still am not sure about what I found. Ohio does have 2 types of plantain though also. One is English. I'm thinking the first picture is also English but it might be a look alike and be a form of lettuce. Both are edible.?
The dandelion I posted are perennials. Well they really never die. Like I said they are about 5 years old and maybe doubled in size. Once the flowers turn to seed. The leaves stay green all year. Now I have to go to home depot and see what I have.Yes...probably hard to grow as a “perennial”, but they sure do replicate here. Peak bloom now for a good few months.
"Working out" can help, only if it fatigues you differently than pain fatigue does. I do sleep a little better when I get out & exercise, plus it gets me out of the blooming house. I'm so sorry you're going thru this. Good luck with the shot!!Thanks Lyn, I have tried not to share here about it. It seemed like my posts were always complaining about my situation.
It is getting to the point, that my productivity is almost nil. I am really looking forward to the fishing trip. Maybe it will get me out of this slump.
Plus with getting the 2nd vaccine tomorrow, after coming back from the trip. I will be going back to the gym. Already got approved by the insurance company for 30 sessions with a trainer at the gym. Getting motivated will help, I am sure.
Thanks Jan, I think the workouts will be good. I will be headed in a positive direction."Working out" can help, only if it fatigues you differently than pain fatigue does.

That’s a daisy or aster not a dandelionHere is one of the what I call a dandelion in the flower bed. Again Opo not interested in the flower or leaves. He loves the dandelion leaves I get from the produce market.

THAT’S a dandelion. I think some of you have climate problems. Many of these temperate zone “weeds” need their seed to freeze for a while over winter, or at least have a period of cold weather dormancy, before they can grow .Ok I have this type that doesn't have flowers yetView attachment 322653and then another type that does.View attachment 322654
got hooked on the deep sea fishing on my First Charter out of the Ft Lauderdale... it was amazing. I tied to learn every fish I pulled out of the ocean.... but there were so many!!! All the beautiful colors really grabbed Me.and the fights for a lot of those fish was like nothing you experience here.. after That, I would go on at least two trips every year for about 5 years until Jayden came along.. I really miss it but Joey is just not really interested in Going.. now that Jayden is older, this may be my next mother / son trip!Thanks Heather, the only thing that can mess up the trip is weather. But if it's to rough to fish out in the gulf. This is Florida, we will fish for something.
I've never thought you were always complaining Ray, in fact I'm always amazed at how up beat and positive you are through all the pain you have to contend with. It's good to let off steam and where better than here amongst friends!?Thanks Lyn, I have tried not to share here about it. It seemed like my posts were always complaining about my situation.

I collect the fluffy seed heads and scatter them on my garden.I only remember seeing the snowball looking things, I canʻt remember the yellow flowers - but havenʻt seen them since I was little - and that was centuries ago
That's what we get here.Ok I have this type that doesn't have flowers yetView attachment 322653and then another type that does.View attachment 322654
In Scotland, Mars Bars are very popular when battered and fried.I’ll eat just about anything battered and deep fried
Not many tortoise owners there then?In Michigan they are a nuisance for people who like to have perfect lawns. When you pull them out. If you don't get all of the long tap root. They will just come back. In a nice subdivision of homes, you were judged by if you kept your yard cleared of dandelions.
You know: trying to keep up with the Jones's. ?

I must be part tort. I just can't survive the sugar overload anymore...not like the days when I ate a whole bag of peanut M&Ms in 24 hrs. during that "time of the month!" But I can't give up french fries!In Scotland, Mars Bars are very popular when battered and fried.
Very high in calories as you can imagine
Last night when I took the pictures I didn't pay attention to the one next to it. It has flowers too. Both types look like dandelions to me. I've never noticed which one Sapphire likes the best. He won't eat them if I pick them. He chooses a growing leaf that smells good to him. The only thing I've been able to hand feed him is a wild strawberry with the stem still attached.The bottom pic looks like the type in Michigan.
Hopefully, now that grocery stores here are now selling them in the produce section, that will change.Not many tortoise owners there then?
Are you talking about the top one because that is the one that is not native to the US?That's what we get here.
That makes sense about the climate. Maybe even the plant needs that because they always come back up. The ones I took pictures of come up every year. I can just about imagine how big the roots are.THAT’S a dandelion. I think some of you have climate problems.
