First Food


Well these dandelions are everywhere nowadays. I read that they are the first food of the bees at this time of year, did you know that?

    No...I have never heard that before.
    When I was growing-up, my best friend's mom used to make dandelion wine and salads!
    Personally, I think dandelions are pretty.
    Neat photo Christine~

    No I didn't know that it's the favourite food of the bees but no wonder - I love to eat dandelions as salad as well!

    I did. And we try not to mow them down too early in the season for that reason.

    If it were not for Dandelions and other weeds I probably would not have much of a yard....haha. Thank you for your fearless comment on my purple "just another brick in the wall" pic. I love it and it is only paint, it will wear off over time or if I ever sale with a steel brush.

    First food and last food after the dandelions are blasted with weed killer. Helps explain why the bee population is dwindling.

    Anyway, the nutritional benefits are supposed to be off the charts & I think they're pretty, too.

    I didn't know that ...
    I always think dandelions are such a nice colour and always fun when it's time to blow on the seeds too ...

    All the best Jan
