That's right - dandelions. The bane of most American gardeners and lawn fanatics they are sold here in Japan as an edible green. I almost bought some just because the sight of them made me smile and laugh out loud. They are certainly an edible wild plant, but most folks just want to dig them up to and eradicate them. A recent Wild Ones Forum ruminated on our childhood habit of blowing the seeds everywhere, and now having to dig them from restored meadows and other plantings. Despite the frustration of the member who started the discussion, this also made me smile. I used to love doing that!

My husband is teaching English at a university here, which was a bit of a spur of the moment decision. We're so glad to be here, though. It's a great place.
Thanks for reading!
