I make dandelion wine with the yellow flowers of the plant. Best homemade wine with a kick 👌🏽 😋

Thank you so much Peter for this I am going to try this

[@petercarson7277]

You’re welcome. You might like them better if you boil them for 10 minutes. Then salt & pepper. Some people then put vinegar on them or butter.

Companion planting. Give it a try. Pair with eggs and garlic bread.

Just picked some fiddleheads “Ostrich Ferns”

[@petercarson7277]

Fiddleheads are good eats. How were the black flies

Cure for constipation

I've made fritters from dandelion flowers but always found the greens very bitter. I do regularly pick Purple Deadnettle every year and sauté them.

[@petercarson7277]

Fritters from the flowers. Very interesting. Thank you.

[@kookietherapy9398]

Pick the new small leaves, less bitter.
