My next door neighbor came knocking on my door today, asking my permission to pick dandelion greens from my lawn. She said that I had the most beautiful dandelion greens. I laughed and asked her what does she use them for. She eats them in salads, she said. She said that if you pick them when they are very young they taste delicious. Well, I decided to try one for myself, and I thought it was very bitter. I told her to help herself to all the dandelions she wanted!

Can you even imagine that the English settlers brought dandelions here on purpose! They were afraid that their honeybees wouldn’t have enough flowers to survive so they brought dandelion seeds! Well, we have plenty of them now! I wonder what dandelion wine tastes like!
