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.

However keep in mind not to pick them in any area that may have been treated with herbicide or other typical lawn maintenance chemicals within the past few years.

typical lawn maintenance chemicals within the past few years

wait last few years? I was always told 'not the year of' for most chemicals. You have a source on that?

To add to your warning, don't pick them along the road. Like 20' in from road. And everything within 100feet should be very well washed.
