My compost is very high in nitrogen, so that might be the reason why they are not really growing! There is a space in the garden with really bad soil and where in the past many many dandelions grew. I might try this patch again! They might even return this year. Will keep an eye on it.
Dandelions fix nitrogen deficiency and loosen the soil.
Maybe they return in that patch. Would be cool. Keep me posted.
Here they are at the end of flowering, luckily a few new ones did pop up. 🌼🌼
I see so many single dandelion plants in the garden, I am looking forward to see if they make some flowers soon, or after the winter. Will keep you posted.
I have a slug and snail problem (or a lack of duck problem!). So they target the yummy dandelion flowers. The one plant had three beautiful flowers soon to bloom, but I see two of them are already eaten. Sad day! Alas, I still have the many nice leaves.
Aawww that is a shame… better get some ducks hahaha 🤣
Good you still have some leaves.
I have counted at least six or seven big dandelion plants growing in pathways, but sad to say that the bugs are getting most of the flowers. I will be making some spinach and dandelion leaf soup soon for the cold and wet weather!
Thats at least something.
Sounds delicious 😋 enjoy the soup.
Hope the weather gets better for you.
Here it’s summer and not reaching 20 degrees Celsius, luckily the days are getting shorter… although i have not had a dark night in almost 2 month. Think it will take another month for some darkness to come.
It is strange and messes with my rhythm…
Oh my, that would totally mess my rhythm up as well. I remember when I visited Sweden, the incredibly short days (9am - 3pm) really messed me up; I felt so sluggish and depressed and it was just the weather!
Thank you so much, I am a bit ill so the cold weather doesn't help. But the soup will!
