I would not be thrilled. I like [Löwenzahn] almost as much as stepping barefoot into a thistle.

I don't think I would plant it, there is almost bound to be trouble or suspicion, and it's a plant that spreads very quickly over long distances and is really hard to get rid of.

Do you consider it reasonable that I create a small roundabout with dandelions in our garden, or is that inconsiderate towards the neighbors who might then have trouble with the "offspring," in case they don't like dandelions?

Dandelion is a valuable native plant. Enjoy it and at the same time consider it a guerrilla action against lawn deserts. It may be that some people don't like it. On the other hand, many of these people claim the right to create ecological deserts on their property and expect everyone else to simply accept the contribution to species reduction...

Well, I don't have a desert. Still, I don't like it. Pulling out is not an option, it has to be poked. I don't have a robot that trims everything short every day. So it can grow with me.

Change of topic Some of us have a few square meters of vegetable garden. From raised beds to large vegetable gardens. The anticipation is growing, the planning begins. I am drawn to the garden, even though I torture the sled every day and get annoyed by drivers coming from well over 100 km away with summer tires. I plan and realize that downsizing will not work again. Many crops are on the red list. I was not aware of this for a long time either. Maybe you will include one or the other variety in your plans. For us, it's often about taste, variety, and differentiation from supermarket uniformity. The Genbänkle, for example, has a good page about varieties and seed sources.

Great thing, I have also already shopped at Jannis Zentler's "Queerbeet" in Eichstetten. After a newspaper report, we all ran there *lol*. Unfortunately, I haven't had a leased garden since November, but I gave away all the seeds so they can continue to be cultivated there.
