I may be a Dandelion court jester.

The link http://safelawns.org/articles/Banned_in_Canada.cfm from
your URL describes the pesticide ban in Canada - but that only
applies to local government managers of green spaces - so while
our roadside grass is covered in dandelions we homeowners try
to stop it spreading into our gardens. Surely someone can find a
dandelion killer that doesn't harm the environment? Personally I
have a tool to dig deep and remove them from my lawns - you just
have to make sure that you start early in the season, else your
grass will be replaced by dandelions!

You could put them in your salad, and save a little on your food bill.

I live about 8 miles from Vineland NJ the Dandelion capitol of the
world. By this they cultivate acres of the dreaded weed. Guess with
the large Italian folks nearby and wild greens like Broccoli Rabe about
and wild mushrooms it is a marriage made heaven. Fiddle ferns just
showing but I'm ignorant on distinguishing them.

Sort of nice to forage about for some of natures gifts and are not
they all gifts?
