I know this sounds ridiculous, but my husband has always been the weed eradicator. I never took much time to learn weeds, and I never paid attention to dandelions without the flower. I just want to make sure as I'm wanting to ID all my weeds before removing them.

Sure looks like a dandelion to my eyes, but whether it is a weed or not depend on if you intend to eat it or allow it to grow to make wine.

Dandelions are one of my most favorite flowers!

Especially if they have a long tap root. You have to admire dandelions, such tenacious plants and they are great for bees.
