The mushroom puffball thingys are edible I think. While they are still solid and not dried out and puff spores all over when you step on them.

The good ones are either white, cream colored, or slightly green when you cut into them. The green ones have a slight minty taste.
It's a damn good weed. Like you said, every part is very nutritional....!
We don't have the pretty green dandelions like you do where it rains frequently, here they have small thorns, like everything else that grows here, but still work. I put um in smoothies.
The largest puffball I ate was the size of a baseball. I could only eat half at a time. It was so filling.
The dandelion roots are great source of selenium, if you can find a place they grow in which the soil is not completely depleted of minerals. Meaning, away from farmers who spray shit day and night on their plants, which leach into the surrounding soils, killing and destroying everything.
Look during the rainy season.
Winter I assume,?...since you have a similar climate
Late fall or early spring, when it ain't too cold for em to grow.
I'm off to bed. Good night y'all.
I have a strict rule on my property: no noxious chemicals -- it is one thing to lightly spray a cabbage plant to keep away bugs and a totally different story to flood a whole area with toxic killer chemicals. Not on my watch. Prolly why there are so many weeds here, but what IS still here is safely edible by all the animals (oh, and in case you guys forgot, humans ARE animals too).
Now I have to put my tired antique ass to bed. Yak at ya tomorrow.
Home? Wake? What?
Finished the bathroom wall. Still gotta do trim.
Sounds like a winner...post some pictures of your accomplishments when it's finished....!
How's the weather in Hell today?
Hot, but not as bad as yesterday...prolly in the low 110's
We got some mild cloud cover today. It's was a relief having a high of only 100.
A tiny bit of weed pulling and a major amount of sweat (thanks to the cool breeze, I didn't pass out) while attempting to fork the shit out of one of the cow stalls. Puff pant... can hardly tell I did anything at all. Well, maybe tomorrow will make a bigger dent. Supposed to be even cooler...
Those weeds will be the death of you.....
Or the pitch fork, neither are fun to deal with
When I helped out on a farm, we used a shovel for cow shit. A fork seems counterintuitive.
Kinda like ramming a shovel in a ball of roots, it bounces off....I assume there is hay mixed in.
Not in the shit I shovelled. It was just a gooey mess. Only a grain shovel could move that stuff... or a bulldozer, but the bulldozer would not be a good idea in the barn.
Was pretty decent here today. Low 80's and only about 40% humidity.
Cut up and moved a couple more loads of tree debris.
Mopped some floors, did dishes and a few other chores.
Kinda whipped.

The leaves will be pretty real soon, Bob....relish the 80's.....
Only a few more months til pecan season. Unless we get fierce storms that thrash the trees early, we should have a good harvest.
supposed to stay in the low 80's thru the end of this month. Really strange? Maybe snow soon this year?The leaves will be pretty real soon, Bob....relish the 80's.....
Yep enjoying it. When I get the trees cleaned up I am starting on my new porch construction. Should have my plans drawn up in a few days and know what I need to get to make it.
Think I will screen it in.
The pitch fork is far worse on my back.... (anything that requires lifting is a killer)Those weeds will be the death of you.....

Perzactly. A shovel is OK if you are scooping up fresh shit off a smooth flat surface (like a smooth concrete floor). What typically happens around here is that the shit is in hay which was on an irregular dirt floor, and dries and hardens (we don't have the available manpower to clean every plop made every day all year - this happens only when time is available), so the fork is the only option. It also has pry-power (leverage). A shit shovel on this stuff would be nothing more than a waste of energy and nothing would get picked up.
Now that makes sense. I worked on a dairy farm, where the cows were in steel stalls with concrete floors. Big difference.
I figured there was a method to your madness.
Trees are LOADED with um around here too....bumper crop this year.
Of course, that should mean the price we get for selling them would be low, prolly around 30 cents per pound.
Indeed...that hanging over a fender gets old really quick
I am going to have to go to a web belt... the wide leather one is killing me.
Using one of those WWF belts?
As long as it's made from genuine panda fur.
That's fer shure...
With the FX4, I need a step ladder to get up to the top of the fender, then a crane to lower me back down to the spark plugs... at least with the riding mowers, I can just sit on the shop floor to cuss at those engines.
naah about 1.5 inches wide Dickie brand to fit their work slacks.
My hip bones hurt from my back and the belt rides on them.
Worked all day today with no belt and it was better.
Did not even lose my pants
That's fer shure...
yeah we need a creeper to lay face down on that is suspended from a sky hook
Even with my 1.5" belt, my pants keep trying to slide off my ass. I am afraid I have entered the Old Age Portal where the next step is... (gawd forbid) SUSPENDERS!!! Arrrrrgggghhhhhhhhh.....Worked all day today with no belt and it was better.
Did not even lose my pants
I hate suspenders.
My FIL wore suspenders and a belt.
Really insucure?
btw Jeans slide off my ass as well but the Dickies slacks do not.
That's what happens when ya got naaa like Phillip. When ya got no ass at all, something besides a belt has to hold up your trousers.
I got no ass but still have some indentiontions on the sides.
That was a fad at one time,.... no?
