Oh wow this looks amazing! I am always too scared to pick the dandelion flowers, because they do not flower that often here, strangely enough. I always wait till they go to seed to either spread the seeds across my garden (which never seems to work!) or save the seeds. I love dandelion leaves in salads, pastas, or in any dish really! I have yet to try the flowers and roots. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful recipe and I will sure be on the lookout for some flowers next time!!

Thanks ☺️
I can imagine. If there are not many it is a shame to pick them. Here they are abundant.
Good to spread the seeds, try to. Hope they will come back more and more.
Maybe your ground is to good. They help the ground when it is to compact or it is missing nutrients like nitrogen.
You are welcome 🤗 hope you can make it one day when there are more flowers around.

Oh yes, I have heard about that! So the soil is too healthy for dandelions! I usually get one or two plants growing really big and a lot of leaves which I use in my cooking, but rarely do I see flowers and even rarer are big patches of them growing. I always wanted to make dandelion root coffee/tea, but as I said, there are too few plants growing and I will much rather use the leaves!

They only come when the earth is bad. They regenerate it.
I hope you manage one day to make that. I haven't tried the coffee from the roots yet. Let’s see if I have enough. You know what you could do. Gather the seeds like you do and put them in pots. Compact the soil a bit. Make sure the nitrogen is low and they should be growing. Worth trying.
Treat it like a veggie plant and grow in pots or raised beds. Hahaha !LOL

My compost is very high in nitrogen, so that might be the reason why they are not really growing! There is a space in the garden with really bad soil and where in the past many many dandelions grew. I might try this patch again! They might even return this year. Will keep an eye on it.

Dandelions fix nitrogen deficiency and loosen the soil.
Maybe they return in that patch. Would be cool. Keep me posted.

Here they are at the end of flowering, luckily a few new ones did pop up. 🌼🌼

I see so many single dandelion plants in the garden, I am looking forward to see if they make some flowers soon, or after the winter. Will keep you posted.

I have a slug and snail problem (or a lack of duck problem!). So they target the yummy dandelion flowers. The one plant had three beautiful flowers soon to bloom, but I see two of them are already eaten. Sad day! Alas, I still have the many nice leaves.
