Jonathan is bummed out that the dandelions are turning white. However, Jeff reminds him that each flower has about 300 seeds (making it a powerful spreader). This kicks off a discussion about the hidden powers of dandelions. For example, did you know that you can make teas, wine and even tempura with them? Also, the dandelion taproot can burrow 15 feet into the ground!

After the break, Jonathan gives an update on his new ‘meadow’ and is surprised to see an abundance of clover.

All that and more in this week's episode of Teaming With Microbes!
