The Big Dandelion Event


It always starts off like this.

And before long.. looked like this!
A colander filled with Dandelion heads.. but then came the hard part.. not that going out in the front yard collecting all those heads wasn't hard enough, but now.. separating the heads from their bitter bases..

Slowly the bowl is filling with petals and the colander is emptying...... slowly I said!
 Will my hands ever look normal again?
I'm getting there... only 1/2 bowl to go....
 At last the petal bowl is FULL!

Here are the 1/2 gallon sized mason jars filled with petals.
One jar will be filled with vodka for tinctures and the other with brandy to make Dandelion Cordial
A long but fulfilling day!
