does any one here use their dandelions instead of killing them?? If so when do you harvest, do you use greens and roots? And do you preserve them somehow? |

Hi, I'm new to GG and your post caught my attention. I use the leaves in salads,the dried roots for tea, and one time the flower heads to make Dandelion Wine(grandmother's recipe). Here's a link that gives a little info about the uses of it: http://www.umm.edu/altmed/articles/dandelion-00023 6.htm |

I've taken to grabbing a young, thin leaf or two while I'm weeding. And call me crazy, but when the flower goes to seed out in the yard I shake them in that area to reseed. Don't tell my husband.
