Knowing which 'weeds' are edible and 'when' could save your life some day. The very earliest dandelion greens and the buds have long been a spring tonic after long months without fresh greens. The leaves get bitter as the season goes on. The blossoms can be dropped briefly into salt water (to discourage any little insects who may have taken up residence there) and then drained, dipped into egg and water mix and then into seasoned flour and then deep fried. They have somewhat the texture of mushrooms but not the taste. The roots can be peeled (like carrots or parsnips), dried in a slow oven and then ground to make a coffee substitute. E. Gibbons' book, "Stalking the Wild Asparagus" relates his many experiences with gathering wild plants and having 'dinner' parties serving them to guests. There is never any need to starve if you gather where there has been no toxic sprays or auto exhaust. Fun! Jana, you should try some of this! Re: Dandelions.

(For those who care to know, my mom has fried dandelions for us before...) Thank you dear friends for the Mother's Day greetings! I love ya'all for stopping by! Jana, I'm jealous, our lilacs were blooming--and then it snowed, browning them up. If they'd waited till now...oh well. My irises aren't as prolific, but I do have a few blooming... Love you, Mom!
