Hey folks, I live in a rental apartment. Our backyard is currently FULL of absolutely gorgeous, huge fluffy dandelion flowers. They’re mowing the place across the street so I know they’ll be mowing our yard soon - any idea what I could do with the dandelions? We’re in an urban area so it’s my understanding that I shouldn’t eat them because of runoff from the road, but I’d be curious to know if this is true/anyone has alternative thoughts.
You could gather the yellow heads and make a dye if you have any natural fibers around. It comes out to a sort of yellowy beige
oh hell yeah!! I’ve been wanting to try natural dyes. I’m a quilter/sewist and I exclusively use natural fibers :D
That sounds like a perfect use then:)
