Some interesting facts about these pesky weeds I can't seem to get rid of...

• The dandelion is actually a perennial herb from the sunflower family.
• It can be traced back about 30 million years to Eurasia where it first began.
• The entire plant is useful for something, be it food, herbal medicine, or the bright yellow color for making dye.  (I will try to remember this as they begin to pop up on the lawn.)
