So, you can start your organic dandelion project already! Also have been cooking some eggs, and being a long-time composter (well before it was the thing to do), I was wondering what I could do with the shells. Organic, so I decided I might grow some seedlings in eggshells to plant later on. <br /><br />Garden photos (and your lovely kitties) look great. I like the broken pot on its side with the purple flowering plant spilling out. Should be a watercolor. Very pretty. May do that with a broken terra cotta pot I have. You, as I do, apparently like that shabby chic look in the garden. Ironic works are vVery nice. Enjoy your garden, lucky madame!<br /><br />P.S.--Your niece isn't Duchess Catherine, is she?Mariananoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1162714840282890495.post-37970513730943727722011-05-07T10:41:06.042-04:002011-05-07T10:41:06.042-04:00Thank you, Mariana, what an excellent suggestion!Thank you, Mariana, what an excellent suggestion!Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12343358780878886726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1162714840282890495.post-89872777022650992472011-05-06T16:52:58.586-04:002011-05-06T16:52:58.586-04:00About dandelions: Also, if you are inclined to pic...About dandelions: Also, if you are inclined to pick the leaves for salads, they are edible only prior to blooming. Otherwise they are incredibly bitter and tough. If you wish to make dandelion tea in the future, why don't you cultivate some of the soon-to-come seeds and then grow your own as potted herbs? (Or order some organic dandelion seeds to cultivate.) You could start an at-home business! I think dandelion nosegays are lovely, too, especially when combined with violets. I still pick 'em.
