I've been harvesting dandelions, this wild plant, for years. The settlers brought them over from Europe as a staple veggie/greens, and it soon spread across the nation.
I have never viewed this plant as a weed because not only is nearly every part edible, but tasty as well!

Kristin,
Dandelions are delicious, you are right! I love dandelion flowers in salads, as well as the leaves when they are still tender in the spring.
Let's hope that we can spread the news, and make others aware of this very useful little plant that can be found just about everywhere!
