No way Jose lol!!!!

I pick a lot of them for my rabbit to eat, but even poor Mintstrel can't keep up with how many we have

Don't eat too many of them in a salad though. The French for dandelion is "piss en lit" for a very good reason!

MrsH, would you kindly translate for those of us who didn't take French in school?

I do occasionally add a few dandelion leaves to a tossed green salad in the Spring when they're small and new.....

my nan used to make wine with them and from what i can remember it was very nice,

Rabbits love dandelions so i dont pull up the roots on mine but pull the leaves and flowers off (free rabbit food ), i dont have that many in the gargen but as soon as i see the seed flower i pull it up before it has a chance to open

I used to always fed them to my buns too, they loved them. Maybe an excuse to get some more. (Buns not dandelions!)
