This is a vintage post, but seasonally appropriate and lots of fun. Don’t spray toxins on your lawn… let those dandelions grow au naturel! The beautiful golden color and early summer fragrance of dandelions attracts bees, providing life sustaining nectar this time of year. Bees are HUNGRY in May and June, and if we want them around to pollinate our fruit orchards and vegetable gardens later in the season, we had better provide them with something to eat right now.
You can benefit from dandelions even more directly by making dandelion honey. Give this recipe a try – it’s delicious, and a great conversation starter!

I’ve never even heard of this, sounds really exciting, like the idea of bringing back a ‘vintage post’ too!
I’ll occasionally repost something if there’s a specific reason for it (such as dandelion season, happening right now). This is a fun one!
Reblogged this on The TOSSer By Temple Of The Standing Stones.
This is so interesting! I guess one would have to have a yard though to get enough flowers for the recipe. Our gardener uses chemicals… gasp!
Yes, you’d need to find enough untreated green space (a park, perhaps?) to pick dandelions for this recipe.
