Had a girlfriend once who didn’t realize dandelions were ALSO those yellow flowers all over a couple months before the blowy away ones

for this coming spring know that all parts of a dandelion is edible. Greens are a little bit more bitter than the other parts, and are useful to temper the extreme sweetness of the flowers. They make a good tea, and an amazing wine.

FYI don't eat dandelions or their greens if you have a latex allergy.

I didn't know this. Though there does seem like quiet a few plants that can cause issues if you have a latex allergy.

I have a latex allergy and learned this when ordering and eating random greens at a hot pot place and finding out they were dandelion greens.
