Found this great Dandelion, Taraxacum officinale, while getting pavers from Babs, just sitting on top of a pile of leaves in the compost area! It is best to get to them before they produce any flowers for using the leaves.
The large plants have lots of buds. I just pick them off, some even come with the stems.
If you work your way through the plant there are lots of buds at the base of the stems.
I wash them thoroughly, drop them in boiling water for 60 seconds and then add to salad or hot dish.
Ryan enjoyed helping to locate the Dandelions and pick the buds, after helping me to load up the car with pavers.
He especially enjoyed investigating the buds to see what was inside!!
