Dandelions aren’t weeds.

They are a front line, special forces plant in the war to reclaim land from dry, dead, and unusable, (i.e. what humans do ) to a fertile multi layer ecosystem. They like to operate with Clover, and long rooting grass.

Go into a cleared, dry, gravel lot, and the first things to start growing at the edges are these 3.

The greens are also edible with unusually concentration of nutrients , and the roots can be dried and roasted, and used like coffee.

I am probably the only person within 1000 miles of this place who actually bought dandelion seeds to sow on our land.

This is not uncommon, I hear.

It also happens frequently when people who can’t tolerate gluten in the U.S. eat pasta and bread in Italy.

To be faire, since 1980 government try to destroy the quality of our services by transferring every thing to private companies . And currently, every thing is more and more expensive... It still cost 1€ to see a doctor, before it was free.(and with new reforms it going to cost as much as in America :( )

ps: I check who create health fare in France... it's not government... It was created by wartime resistant. And it was worker's union who managed social security.

You're right, government don't help...

How exactly is retirement or medical care less expensive than let's say 50 years ago? The same treatment is about 10 x more expensive because the dollar lost its purchasing power.

To the new parents on Nostr: Your kid will likely, eventually get croup. Learn what ‘stridor’ sounds like. It can be kind of like a squeak or a wheez or a whistle when they inhale. It will be worse if they are crying. It means they are working very hard to breath. It is something you should consider serious. The rest you can find out with your own research, just wanted to put this on your radar. My second has it, he is at the ER, nurse heard it with his cough and bumped him up in the cue. If you have been relatively healthy, you may have never gone to the ER/ urgent care before yourself, you may feel silly. Get over it. My first got it around this age as well 2-3. If you do the research now you will be more calm when it happens. Stridor while crying is something to take seriously. Stridor at rest is a blinking red light and alarms should be going off. #parenting
