Today Marco is coming to cut the grass. That poor garden of mine is so long that I could see some dandelions in blossom when I went to pet and fight with Luna yesterday.
I know that dandelions are edible. So I went to google them and found out that you could make a delicious salad with them. I could harvest the leaves ( or rather make Marco do that) and see how it goes. If I don´t like it, I can throw it away. And I will not poison myself.
Do you like to try new food? Have you eaten dandelions? Have you eaten any other flower?

@marguicha If the flowers are in full bloom, the leaves are not good.

I know certain flowers are edible but I wonder whether I will try them ever or not.

@amitkokiladitya Are they good? After all, we are always eating some flowers. Cauliflowers, capers and artichokes are some of them.

There are sevral greens that have bitter taste. I love arugula, but mixed with other greens.

I tried dandelion leaves, broadleaf, docs, nettles in soups and saute dishes before. Parslane in salads. Still discovering more.

Nasturtiums are nice, mixed with greens. And the arugula I plan in containers are really weeds.

I think you need to get the leaves while their still babies else they'll be bitter.

We have all kinds of plants growing in our garden and I am told they are edible but have not tried them yet. There is what is called vitamin plant I must experiment with them.
