Hello steemians, I send you a big hug. Today I will be sharing with you a new topic in #celestialchallenge initiated by mentor @sirknight, today's content is forcesinnature
It is said that there are over 250 species of dandelion in existence, though the variety known as “common dandelion” ( Taraxacum officinale) is the one that is most likely populating your lawn and garden. Dandelions are quite resilient and, as such, can withstand a lot of less than ideal growing conditions.
If you’re growing dandelion as a food source, however, you will want to grow it in conditions that are conducive for yielding high quality, and hence better tasting,
dandelion greens . And by better tasting, I am alluding to the bitterness factor. The taste of dandelion is a bit on the bitter side.
Hardy to zone 3, dandelions grow in sun or shade, but for better tasting greens a partial to full shade location is ideal. The best soil for dandelion seed growing is characteristically rich, fertile, well-draining, slightly alkaline and soft down to 10 inches (25 cm.) deep because dandelion roots grow deep.Dandelion ( Taraxacum officinale ) is a common meadow herb of the Asteraceae or sunflower family. There are about 100 species of dandelion, and all are beneficial. This sun-loving beauty is a native of
Greece , naturalized in temperate regions throughout the world, and familiar to nearly everyone.Dandelion is a safe and nutritious herb widely used throughout the world. No health hazards have been reported when dandelion is used in designated therapeutic doses. According to the PDR For Herbal Medicine, however, some "superacid gastric complaints" could be triggered by using the herb. Dandelion stems contain a liquid latex substance that may be irritating to the skin of senstitive persons.
