My mum refers to dandelions as weeds and they’re native here in Europe. They are still rather invasive, as in if you’re trying to grow a vegetable garden or something, they’ll be all over that in no time, thanks to their floating seeds and hardiness.

But yeah, personally, I don’t really get why our vegetable garden needs to be a 100% dandelion-free zone. Heck, you can even use them in salads and whatnot.
