I've not tried the buds, though BBBH says she has eaten the blossoms. Our lawn looks like a "wild flower" garden this year.vanillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11978025976591113499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535543883262225735.post-8019009455495460632013-05-07T09:50:09.586-04:002013-05-07T09:50:09.586-04:00Early in the spring the dandelion leaves are edibl...Early in the spring the dandelion leaves are edible. Later they'll develop a strong taste. Or boil them and eat with a bit of vinegar. The yellow blossom buds are tasty when dipped in batter and pan fried.

So I just call them "wild flowers." ;) Secondary Roadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05116234285533139701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535543883262225735.post-67698643604802140542013-05-07T09:02:21.062-04:002013-05-07T09:02:21.062-04:00Shark, they are good eating this time of year.

I had a mother-in-law who made dandelion wine; but then I am a teetotaler so I never judged it.<br /><br />Grace, it fascinates me that the "stick in the ground" works for certain trees. My crabapple was started that way.<br /><br />Lin, the redbuds are so pretty! I don't care for dandelions in the lawn, either; but they have somewhat gotten ahead of me this year.<br />vanillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11978025976591113499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535543883262225735.post-54817183519080589662013-05-06T23:11:57.348-04:002013-05-06T23:11:57.348-04:00Oooh, I LOVE the redbuds this time of year!

Mine is late blooming this year--I think it was tired from the long summer last year. <br /><br />Yep, the holly is blooming too, but we have two males, so no berries. :(<br /><br />You can keep the dandelions.
