My neighbour has a allotment and often brings me round dandelion leaves,spring greens and cabbage.I saw him this morning bring me a bag round.Inside the bag is lots of dandelion type things:oops:They look like a dandelion leaf but the edges are quite jagged.They also have tiny yellow flowers on.He has gone out know so i can,t ask him what it is.Obviousley don,t want to give any to buns or pigs until i know.Does anyone know what they might be?

I've got some of that in my garden - have always wondered if it was OK for the buns, but never tried to find out :D

It's a shame isn't it? My garden is pretty wild and overgrown (I hate gardening, but I also like the natural look :shock: :lol:). There are so many things growing in it that they could have but I just won't risk anything I don't know. At the moment there's a vast supply of dandelions - and the biggest I've ever seen - but they won't last forever.

I'm trying to decide whether I'm brave enough to go next door and ask if I can cut some of his very long grass :shock: - his wall fell down a few weeks ago and so he's not been able to mow the lawn and the grass is knee deep and I practically drool at it every time I'm out with my scissors cutting grass, dandelions and strawberry leaves as it looks so lush and green. I guess as I'm already known as the mad animal woman he couldn't think I'm any more potty :lol: :lol:

My neighbour lets me into his garden to cut grass and dandelions,i should ask your neighbour,i am sure they won,t mind:D
 
I'd been thinking of starting a thread asking about wild plants etc, living in the country I'm surrounded by stuff, but it looks as though you're all as clueless as me anyway ;):lol:
 
I could pick fresh grass from the stables, however I never do as I am worried about disease. My 2 indoor buns, Princess C and Chance can't have VHD jabs as they both have issues that could mean they don't handle it well. So I fret that I could bring VHD home, although I fret about that all the time!
 
will go see if it is in my book :)

ETS: cant find my book anywhere despite having it like a week ago :roll: will have another look for it later
